I'm going for some Bilstein B8 shocks all round for my Nova...I think it's B8

Was just wondering what springs I'd need to get to give me the best all round handling/comfort/looks

I want it between 40/60mm all round

Cheers, Vaughan

Eibach are what Bilstein supply with their decent/yellow kits anyway, powder coated Blue.

They wont be low enough though in terms of slammed n decked trends, but on undulating roads will be ace.

My Eibach Pro-kit springs are grey. Dont think the Sprintline kits are supplied with Eibach springs, they are PI or something.

Defo go for an Eibach kit. Prokit is only 40mm max and IIRC NLS. The Sportline is 50mm. An alternative to Eibach will be H&R. Both brands are top quality. It'll be a shame to use a cheap spring kit with such god shock.

BTW I run H&R's

the bloke who made my roll cage had been rallying novas for years and years and said to steer away from coilovers as they are simperly not needed and go with billie shocks with eibach springs, so thats what i would go with

I thought about that - Eibach/Apex springs but want it about 50/60mm
