Wil be running my xe nov on bilstein b8's, anyone recommend a good quality spring to match that they've previously used? I wish to go no lower than approx 50 mm.:thumb:

you are recommended to get uprated springs, rarther than just one to lower your car. this is so that it can take the new added weight of the engine.

Courtenay (http://www.courtenaysport.co.uk/default.htm?page=55) do a suspension kit specifcally for a 2.0 Nova which uses Bilstein B8's and their own springs or alternatively they sell the front springs separately. From what I've read their suspension kits come highly recommended, not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Courtenay springs arent all that low by todays standards.

I'd get some from coilsprings89. Tell them what engine it is & what height you want.

Hmmm, cheers for that chaps. the courtenay ones would be ideal, but i'd like to go lower, looks like i'll give coilsprings89 a buzz, see how much they'll be. If not i'll probably settle for some 50mm eibachs.....
