The non eibach (though apparently they are eibach) so call them the inferior ones just seem to be a bit unstable. after le mans they weren't quite right and had to be adjusted again.
Handles better again, though it was set up at this height. Also rides(didn't think that would make a difference, so it must be psychological) better.
Looks like a 4x4 though. The tyre profile of the (205 AD08) 45s isn't quite as pleasing as the (195 A048) 50s and the wheel arch doesn't appear quite as well filled. Again, the difference is minimal, so its probably a matter of in the mind.
Think i'm ready for CMS, what have i forgotten?

I hope the eibachs aren't the same colour as the new nitron corporate colours, i'm sensing a bit a clash with the orange ARBs, then again the usual red isn't fantastic either

In seriousness for a moment, if you do want to try a couple of different set-ups prior to committing large amounts of £, then you're welcome to drive mine Simon.
There are different schools of thought out there, none are right or wrong and it is very dependent on personal preference.

Can happen on all suspension set-ups. Nitron claim to have fixed it, and i haven't seen it on mine yet. Don't run it too low i think is half the answer.
