    Oh btw do NOT buy the black Bilstein shocks - these are rubbish as I found out with my GSi.
    One day I'll start a build thread. One day...

    Looking good! If you want to uprate the suspension I highly recommend Koni adjustable front shocks and eibach springs. I bought used front koni's with a full set of used -35mm eibach springs leaving the back shocks standard, and can honestly say it feels so much better overall with speedbumps not as harsh over the standard setup. You can buy brand new front koni's on ebay sometimes on offer for just over £100 each! Bargain! I have set the damping rate on the front at half. Feels perfect
