Nice ride, EE9! Like those Superleggeras very much. Always wanted to get them for myself. But funds are low....

from the top off my hat...
16" x 7,0j off-set 38 OZ Superleggera's
205 x 45 (???) x 16 Toyo T1S Proxes
Bilstein gaspressured dampers

Will double check the tire height

Thanks. Nice setup BTW

Hi,

Nice rims BTW

, are you considering just the coils or the shock absorbers as well ??

If it's just the coils you are after, try to see if you can find the Ractive coil overs as they are adjustable and the cost is under 150 €uro (at least here in Portugal). They earn a best value for money in a UK magazine (dont remember wich).

If it is the full set-up the bilstien is great (pss9), I have Koni Sport and they are nice too (in here they are also cheaper

).

Regards,

Today I´ve read somewhere here in the forums that Ractive parts are cheap both in price and quality compared to H&R, Eibach,...! The other problem might be that they aren´t street-legal over here because the german `TÜV´ hasn´t tested them. We have very strict laws over here!

I think that wouldn´t help much!

You also need a kind of a license for the part. You can get a custom one in some/many cases but that can be very expensive!
