It's time to for suspension change after 50000miles.
Anyone used any of the above and any reviews?
Any feedbacks are welcomed!

I have the B12 kit on my Alfa 156. It's lowered, hard and on good tarmac and especially twisty roads it was perfect.

Over bumps the car would bobble(is that a word?) up and down, it felt like a rally stage. This would be felt even more by the passengers in the back.

On pot hole ridden roads you need to go slower. Speed bumps were the worst, as the large ones were too high so you'd need to drive over them with one side of the car.

I've. changed the car to an F31 which feels soft on the sport setting of the adaptive suspension.
