Bilstein Dampers and Springs.
Discussion
Is it worth fitting a set of Bilstein springs and dampers from the sport to my standard MK3 2.0 or would i be better off just fitting a set of Eibach springs to my standard dampers?
There are 3 sets of Bilsteins currently for sale on eBay and i have been tempted to purchase a set, however i don't want to waste my money if the general opinion is that the Eibachs on standard dampers would be a better option.

Go straight for the Meisters.
I originally replaced the standard suspension on my Mk3 car with bilsteins and lowering springs. A year later I swapped onto Meisters. Steve did something similar.
That's why every thread with this question gets the same reply from the same two people

Well against all of your advise i bought a set of Bilstein's, dampers and springs. I understand what you are saying about the MeisterR's but as this is primarily my wife's car i doubt that it would be money well spent.
Anyway i got a full set of low mileage Bilstein's for £75 from Ebay which i thought was a pretty good deal.
I have the car booked into MX5 Heaven in Dorset to have them fitted and a wheel alignment carried out. I will report back when this is done.
If anyone is interested MX5 Heaven have quoted me £239 to do all the work, this includes the labour, 2 new front stabiliser bars and the wheel alignment.
