Came across a good deal on a used set off of a S1 with S1 shock mounts and all and couldn't resist. I'm delighted to say that the ride is actually BETTER than stock and the car now sits lower, like it should've from the factory in my opinion. Gone is the vomit inducting bounce and the high speed rear end float of the stock suspension however the smoothness remains! A win-win in my book. It looks to be a ~1.5" drop Front and 2" drop Rear. The rear is only supposed to drop about 0.7" on the S1 as designed, however on the SII it drops more due to design differences I'm assuming.

Check out the pics;

Glad you like them man! I surely did. You definitely got a bigger drop in the rear than i did. Weird thing is, I think I had a bigger drop in the front though. Did you make sure to preload the front? Could also just take some time to settle too or maybe it is just because it is a series 2. Regardless, looks good and glad you are enjyoing them.

Didn't see your response prior to responding to your PM. Yeah, I had preloaded both the front and the rear.

An update for those interested - the rear now sits about the same as the front after an alignment. There was -3 deg. of camber in the rear when that picture was taken as I had found out today.

Thats good to hear. When I had these I was stupid and didn't get an alignment. The toe shredded my tires. They still feeling good?
