I have the Spax kit. Drives well & looks good - not too high, not too low.

Don't over-worry the issue, just fit 'em & drive the car. :playcar

I almost popped on the spax, but as it is not tuv certified it's likely I wouldn't get through it's mot over here.

I went for sport springs from H&R that lower about 35mm, and got the bilstein sport dampers from walloth:

That will get you a nice and balanced setup. Just make sure to have enough pre-tension on the spring or the lower spring plate (height adjustable) will start rattling so don't put it too low.

OK, thanks - will it keep in mind. I assume it will become apparent once I get things dismantled.
