On the BLT engines theirs a map that reduces boost based on intake temps. If I remember right once you start going past 70c intake the boost starts to reduce which in turn will reduce how much fuel is injected as they are both linked. The ASZ ecu map doesn’t really have that map configured as the smoke map is based on the MAF sensor. On the BLT the smoke map is based on the MAP sensor. on a stock car and map one third gear WOT pull will see you into the 70c intake temps. I once’s logged intake temps around Oulton part and it was at a constant 70-80c which in return reduced the boost pressure based on the above info. Mine was an ASZ but I switched the smoke map over to be MAP sensor based.

Think people don’t appreciate how good these are in standard form.

To give you an idea. This is with the spring removed and the damper compressed to the point it hit the bump stops. So basically no suspension travel left.

wouldn’t go past 25mm. I did some measurements. On stock springs on the front you have around 2.7inch of bump travel before hitting the bump stops and 2.1inch of rebound. Problem with going more than 25mm (1inch) is you run the risk of hitting the bump stops which you don’t want to do. So when you seen anything slammed on springs then their riding on the bump stops.

Not at all. Wouldn’t say their was any difference in ride at all.

Not mine then.

Personally I would keep stock springs and just change the dampers. That way you keep the suspension travel for the speed bumps.

Have a search for retro hid or something like that. They now sell a replacement hids setup which is no xenon. Out of interest when did you get your car? I recently sold my 2004 black Fabia.

What he said For road use I would recommend the setup to anyone. Cheap coilovers might add stiffer springs but I doubt the dampers are anywhere near as good unless you start talking proper kits ie thousands.

Personally I would say the ride was better as I found the standard to be crashy over roughy roads when new. Add 19 years to that… The eibach springs are very similar to stock vRS springs rates so the rides very similar just better controlled thanks to the b8 dampers. I actually ended up running the B8’s with stock springs as I was running out of suspension travel and bouncing off the bump stops. That was when I fitted the H&R rear anti roll bar (stiffest you can get) and went back to stock front anti roll bar. When I had an eibach 22mm front and Jabbasport 23mm rear (H&R is 25mm) I had no issues. I used the car for Autosolo’s.

Are they xenon? I struggled to find anything xenon related.

I have a bilstein b12 kit for sale of my old car I highly recommend the b8 dampers that come with the b12 kit (plus eibach springs). Do a brilliant job at controlling the body movement. In terms of ride I would say it’s much better than stock in the sense it’s less crashy. Does give that sporty feel though.

Around the Liverpool area you’d be lucky to see 5 a year. Even when I bought mine 19 years ago you didn’t see many as they still had the old image. Remember getting laughed at by work mates for putting my order in. But back then fellow vRS owner use to flash and wave at you. They were the days. Remember my now wife but then girl friend thinking what the ****. still plenty registered on the road though. Must depend on the part of the country your in. They are the current nova/corsa though which is a shame. Really nice to see one that’s not “modded to stage 15++”. I sold mine (probably regret doing it) the other week but just couldn’t justify keeping it.

B4’s should be a good choice.
