Likewise, glad to hear it's all going well - Where did you get the B6 shocks and at what price, I'd like a refresh and upgrade on my 850 suspension!

Posting stuff like this is going to make it break

I think the full shock set up was around £700 Bilstein B6 front and back + Lesjofors all round lowering springs + top mounts etc. Car feels very planted I'm impressed

I'm with you, just a coincidence if it breaks after you've praised it, it's my belief that the most reliable vehicles are the most driven and maintained to suit. Cars and bikes that are left just sulk and break. That was "The Thought for the Day" Radio 4 Reverend Bonnie tiler

The laws of physics don't care about us - a few tonnes of wood hitting the ground/other trees is going to make a whole lot of noise whether or not we are nearby....& a faulty component will cause a balls up whether or not we have crossed our fingers or said our prayers that day
