Osravs kga's available from Zagato for £629-ish need to be ordered from Italy though, so not on the shelf!

What are peoples spring recommendations for Osrav shocks? noted that Jimbo said the shocks are shorter so they lower the car a bit so i dont want to add lowering springs and end up too low!need to be fine clearing speed bumps!
Anybody had them on the standard springs?

I have searched and note that Nigel had them on Eibachs and Sandytim had Country Cruising Group buy springs! how did you both get on from a practical everyday use point of veiw as the Track days will be of secondary importance to me!

Is there a suitable alternative to osravs they are towards the top end of my budget, so need to sort what is the best for my needs,
For everyday use I want a nice firm but comfy ride (sort of golf GTI or bmw style) with the option to do a track day or two in the future!

There does not seem to be many shocks about now with the B6's dried up!

This is the next part to my upgrade package so really want to get it right first time!
Appreciate any input
Cheers laugh

Dont think they lower the car, they are just shorter to suit shorter/lowered springs.

They were slightly shorter in the fact that the spring platform was a little lower than a standard damper, I think Nigel can back me up on this as he's also run them.

Country Cruising's springs would be my choice or the 16vt Eibach springs which are around 10mm longer than the 20vt Eibachs and progressively wound.
