shocks and springs!

The club has done a group buy of powercoil springs and i think Payne has one spare set of 50mm lowering springs. You honestly dont want to go lower as it becomes to much of a hassle.
Depending on your budget you can do any of the following
1) KYB shocks - £160 roughly with powercoil springs - £100
2) Koni Adjustables - £280 roughly with powercoil springs - £100
3) Coilovers from D2 racing - £600 roughly (will find link)
4) Bilstein Group N spec road/gravel dampers - £800 with powercoil spring - £100
The coilovers are the best option but as of yet i have not found anyone that owns a set to give me a honest opinion about how they perform.
-KYB's can be bought from most motorfactors and their is a link on here somewere for a place that sells them for a reasonable price.
- Koni's are avaliable from a wide variety of places, although i would recommend Demon Tweeks (shameless plug) as they will have them to your door next day or the day after. (becoming a offical member allows you to save 10% on all parts bought from Demon Tweeks with membership starting from a tenner)
- Bilsteins are expensive but you will never want anything else again. If your interested send me a PM as i can source you some.
Their are other springs avaliable but they only lower upto 40mm-45mm and are the same price as the Power coil option. Your best bet is to call someone like Demon Tweeks and ask what different options are avaliable or you could try looking at www.needforspeed.co.uk

Just to add that i have Eibach springs and the Bilstein damper, will post a picture showing the difference between one of these and a Koni adjustable.
If you have the money i would say your best bet would be Koni adjustables with powercoil springs, although i would recommend Eibach springs as i think they are some of the best springs avaliable for a K11.
On recent discussion with Dave aka Low Rider (source of all K11 knowledge) he said that Koni's are more suited if you use your car more on country lanes and on motorways as they are a bit to unforgiving around London and its amazingly flat spotless roads, lol
