Replaced my ruined oem sacks front shocks with Bilstein B4's and Lemforder top mounts today. The difference is incredible. To be honest though, the original shocks were so bad I wasn't able to do more than 60mph as it would bounce up and down. Upon removal, we could tell which shock had failed as we could move the tube up and down very easily. I re-used my existing eibach springs and oem bump stops, as they were in great condition.
She seems to sit a little higher now, but I guess that's the trade off for a better ride.

I haven't done the rears yet, that's next weekends job. You can see the offside rear sits quite low, that's because that shock needs replacing as that too has failed.
I also removed the hardtop this evening. It had been on my car for almost a year! I've missed top down motoring, so I'm looking forward to the drive to work tomorrow, weather permitting.

Did you spray that in your garage ? I've got a compressor, spray gun and all the gear in mine but no way could I get such an excellent finish if I tried ! Can't beat a matching hardtop
