Hi
I've got standard 325 sport springs on my car an I would like to put a pair of good shocks in just to get rid of some of the bounce without lowering the car! What shocks do you recommend to use with standard springs will b6's work? Any advice would be great!

Regards Neil

Running Boge's the same as maggpie (GSF £57 a side), -40MM springs and M20 and it rides much better than the shagged out original shocks it was running.

Ok thanks I will look in to them then! Do b6's only work with lowering springs?
