Fronts are ET35 according to the manufacturer (Veeman are an INCREDIBLY helpful company when you phone them for support in my limited experience.)
Rears are ET42 or ET45 apparently.
Is that "too aggressive"?

I had a square set of 18x8.5 on one and they were ET38. No problem at all.Fred Smith wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 3:05 pmFronts are ET35 according to the manufacturer (Veeman are an INCREDIBLY helpful company when you phone them for support in my limited experience.)

My wife's E85 is running 108s, so the rears are 18x8.5 ET50. She has 20mm spacers taking it to ET30. Still fit nicely. 19s maybe a little tight but you are only really going to be at OEM +5mm spacer territory with your ET45s.
I don't know an awful lot about car suspension, but from the setup you have, your using OE b4 suspension with slightly lower slightly stiffer springs. You should not be having the issues your encountering. The ride and quality should be more or less standard and back to OE spec. I would be looking at other areas. I would be checking all rubber bushes, connections and mounts etc for wear and tear, getting my alignment checked and speaking to my mechanics before throwing money at more suspension components. The way I see it, if the surrounding perishable components aren't addressed, then no amount of money thrown on suspension legs and springs is going to make the car handle well.INSTALLITE wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 5:43 pm Can I jump in here? I have E86 - Originally with sport suspension - Replaced with Eibach Pro srpings and B4's and the ride is dreadful. I see people on here say they are a good combination, but from what I have found, the B4's are for non-Sport cars. So I have coupled Sport springs with non-Sport dampers. I'm about to change these for a set of Koni yellow. Bilstein recommended B8's but they are hard to find. Wheels are standard 18 inch, and you can feel every bump and crease in the road, so much so that I just don't want to drive it until it's sorted. Any thoughts are welcome.

Mine is on B4’s with Eibachs, 18 inch wheels with none run flat tyres.INSTALLITE wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 5:43 pm Can I jump in here?

It’s certainly not a great ride, but I wouldn’t say it’s uncomfortable. Firm yes but I think the road noise is far more annoying and intrusive.
