korova Unregistered K	I’m hijacking this thread a bit. Does anyone know a modern alternative to the Bilstein/standard spring set up? As the front Bilsteins are no longer available My office has moved and i now drive daily down some very rough B roads and the coop struggles. I need to find a more compliant road set-up. Any suggestions/advice? Thanks.
