Hi,

Just got off the phone to my local AMD dealer and they are saying that for road use they would reccomend a performace shock and spring kit over coilovers. I'm not that bothered about the ride height being stupidy low I just want it to handle well and not knock out my teeth down country roads. Just wanted to hear your opinons on what I should go for and why.

Cheers

James
 
If your more bothered about comfort then I'd agree and say go for a good quality springs and shocks kit.

Give me a shout if I can be any help.

And if you want buy shocks a d springs and your nothappy how it sits after.Your stuck with it that way ;)
good quality coils you want ...
 
Depends on what you want...if you want something to fit and forget,then a shock and spring kit may be fine,but if you want to tailor the ride to what you want,then a good coilover kit is what you want,but it will cost more,and need more setting up.

The ride quality doesnt need to be harsh either.
 
I got the V Maxx plus from DPM, height and damping adjustable, tried them hard and soft, low and high, it's well worth being able to set

them up exactly how u want. I :wub: mine!

Amazing service from Damien @ DPM too.
 
I got Vmaxx coilovers too but only went with the hight adjustable ones.

Ride is spot on and still might make a few adjustments to the ride hight but to me that's part of the fun

All good I hope lol

Need to speak to him actually, was hoping he might be able to help me with something.

It's a good set up he's got there, professional and friendly, I've recommended him to a few m8's.

Shame he doesn't do a remap for mine, I've heard the 3.2 drives better post remap although not much quicker.
 
There is a map available for the 3.2 V6, not as much gains as a turbo, but the car will drive alot better. If you pay before saturday, there is £150 off maps at the moment.
