I found that the weaker springs weren't strong enough to overcome the dampers and there was too much body roll in the bends. It's the best it's ever been so I thought I'd go up a bit more and see how it drives then.

The symptoms I had was that it was very bouncy over all the bumps in the road and was just completely uncomfortable. It would turn in fine but then it would lean right over which didn't feel nice either. Now I can throw it around quite a bit.

I've tried the following rates on the car using Bilstein coilovers.

Rear damping rates 260/60
Rear springs
130
150
160
170
275

Front damping rates 300/70
Front spring rates
250
275
300
350
375

My car is a fully trimmed shell with a 15 stone fat cunt sat in it and a sub and 2 amps in the boot with a hand full of tools and a 16"x7" spare wheel.
