Freind has a C2 2.7 and the suspension needs changing as he has one broken rear spring and blown front shocks.

Cant go much lower because Alpina Front spoiler would hit speed humps.

Need something thats not too hard aswell

Need something that will make the car handle.

Ive been thinking H&R springs with Bilstein sports which is very enar Alpina stuff anyway but a little lower at the back and a bit softer (Alpina stuff is rock hard and nothing to write home about in handling department).

H&R cup it out of the question as its too low for this application.

Opinions please.

I've heard good things about the 35mm Boge springs you can get from GSF. Supposed to be near enough Mtech spec... so the bloke tells me.

I've got an Eibach pro kit on my 2.7 and from standard it sits -40mm front and -36mm at the rear.

I have Sachs gas dampers all round too.

No complaints about the ride or handling here :D

Cheers,
