Hey guys

Im looking to upgrade my suspension on my cab its abit low for me. i want something not bouncey but stiff not much roll ive heard the blisten b6 are good ive got £500 to spend what about coilovers seem some for 300 think there were spax any good? plus i got an m50 engine in it the extral weight does not help so im thinking of thicker sway bars aswell

Shocks won't affect the height. For the price get some Eibach -35mm springs fitted. What shocks have you got on there now?

Ive got eibachs and b4's on my cab, drives lovely but there is a bit of arch gap. Hopefully when I get round to fitting the right size tyres for my bbs I'll be happy with the looks
