There's an extra 65kg or so on the back of a touring and the Mtech springs are 15mm lower to start with... time to call Eibach, you know it makes sense :)

Hi my name is ShakeyC, and i too have an L reg Touring and i really hate it. My mentor says i should frag it, i feel like burning it, my therapist says i should just walk away, deep down maybe its a love-hate relationship? maybe the answer is a double barrel full of rock salt on a typically wet bank holiday weekend :twisted:


ps this Council’ing isn't working for me :cry:

Which reminds me of a joke. There is a young bull and and old bull. The young bull says 'lets run into that field of cows and have sex with one of them'. The old bull replies, 'no, lets walk over and have them all'
