Hello gents,

I am seriously considering option 4. Rebuild with the uprated springplates covers from GWD/German Performance Parts, inside black PU bushings from Topline (for more stability as advised on the site of GWD), springplates installed with no preload on the torsion bars. And coilovers, still no clue what brand etc.
Current shocks are Billstein, which are as smooth as bicycle pump......Extended lenght 420mm, collapsed length 265mm.
So I am guessing the coil overs will be 14" or 15" extended and 10.125" or 11.125" collapsed, with 8" of 10" springs. But at what spring rate? 300lb/inch?
