[Dowski]

Alright,

Here's a few pictures of my 2002 S3 with Bilstein B8 shocks and H&R 25mm lower springs sat on 18" RSTT wheels!

Cheers to Damian @ DPM Performance for the great service!

Do you mind me asking how much that set you back? Thinking about changing my springs/dampers in due course, but my choice will be influenced by cost. PM me if you'd rather not post it on here.

[fingermouse]

also need adjustable rear arms imo

 

[DPM]

I would agree.

Damian @ DPM Performance

 

[MintyS3]

Bargain lol. Good way to spend a grand.

 

[fingermouse]

and worth every penny , its how the car should have been from new imo

 

[jojo]

But does it add value to a car you are selling? Not a penny! lol

 

[DPM]

Do we do it for that reason though? Although adding value would always be nice!

Damian @ DPM Performance

Yeah, exactly. I'm jostling with that one in my mind too. How long will I keep the car? I love it to bits and it'll need new dampers in due course anyway, so it's likely to be a long term investment rather than a throw-away modification. Hmm, sounds like I'm trying to convince myself into a purchase...

 

[DPM]

Once everything was fitted I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed.

Damian @ DPM Performance

 

[Pat]

Works very well..

Just waiting for parts from states for engine for big power..

Damian further to our conversation yesterday on the phone do you think you could still supply this setup for the same money ? After speaking to tuffty this is what he has and has suggested.
Thanks

 

[DPM]

No, as in the PM reply this thread is from 2010!

Damian @ DPM Performance

 

[hydro s3]

Ha well said @DPM. If only we could get parts today at 2010 prices.

Inflation’s a b1tch ain’t it

 

[hydro s3]

Most definitely. It drains the wallet very quickly. Just out of interest how much would that set up cost now?

 

[jojo]

Not just inflation is it? The value of the pound is crap these days!

 

[DPM]

That's the main problem Jojo, value of the good old £ is appalling.
