Yeah the whole journey of my suspension going followed by sourcing a new set followed by waiting for it to be delivered was a massive pain in the arse tbh :ROFLMAO: Fingers crossed you get it sorted in time for your Europe trip. You going anywhere exciting? Nürburgring?

Thanks! Did your 30i make it all the way to 138k on the original suspension? That's incredible if so, I bet your difference was even more drastic than mine.
