My car is sitting on BOGE Turbo shocks, but i am needing to stiffen the springs. the ride height is perfect for me, just need stiffened.
So what are my options to stiffen it up a bit?
Cheers in advance.

Do you know what springs you have already? I.e. Standard, MTECH or something else.

THis was Graham's car. Probably 40mm drop if you haven't changed them.try the mech II ones, best of both worlds and properly engineered for the car.

I had that with an old E30.. need to nip it in the bud fast. Your tyres will unfold the lip on your arches before long, remove paint and start to corrode.
For after market springs Eibach or H&R are a popular choice. Some say that H&R are a bit stiffer.. so perhaps worth doing a little research into them..
