Sweet. I've got the budget models but even they now have separate height and preload adjustment. I've gone for a much softer setup than yours but still have the Pillowball mounts, extra locking ring and Eibach springs.
Those rears must be almost solid given that half the travel's been taken up by the helpers. what's the rates 700 rear 650 front by the look of the numbers on the springs? That's about twice as much boing in the springs as I've got.

I presumed soMy point was the web site price/scope is not reflective of what you need to get the S right
MB don't worry about getting them dirty
They clean up really nice! (other than springs which the paint can flake off
)700
mine were 350 all round

Yep we decided to go firm 
There will probably be some experimenting going on though 
They are only about 1-2 kg more all round that the Monoflex. Plus as long as the valving has a good adjustment range, they shouldn't be too bad on the road.

Nice work Mark.
It's good to see a decent modification thread by somebody who knows what they are doing rather than the form over function tat that seems to be fashionable of late.
PS. I don't have a semi on....yet.

Cheers Lee. I know what you mean I like a nice looking car, but i'm not into bling and this isnt' going to be some "street cruiser"
Something on my mind is wether to go back to an OEM bumper and remove the skirts. I do like the look of both, and the bumper does have a great feature of brake cooling ducts, but a little ott and the skirts are so low you can't even get the car on a dyno when it's lowered
We shall see. But I don't use the car for anything other than fun.
I can see this car being stripped of all excess weight next year too.
