I've had the B12 kit on for about 6 months. Very firm ride. Unforgiving on bumpy roads. But great fun :thumbsup:
Surprises me. I had B12 kit on my GT86 and it was leagues ahead of the stock setup for both handling and comfort.
My E85 didn't have the sport suspension, it was standard. The springs and shocks were longer, therefore giving more 'comfort'. The B12 dropped the car at least 35mm both ends and It's like a shopping trolley over bumpy roads. The handling's been transformed though. I guess when making 'comparisons' it helps to compare two identical models of car, or two of the same car. Comparing kits on different cars doesn't really carry any weight for me. The cars are completely different to start with.
