Sounds good to me. To be honest your experience was a deciding factor when going for the Bilsteins and combined with a few others opinions the Bilsteins by all accounts seem to be a damned good shock, no question. As this will be my 2nd ever suspension set up, it will be very interesting to see how differently the Bilsteins perform from the OME and also how they will work with the Kings.....will I have got the balance and ride right, we'll see..........I am certainly hoping for a marked improvement!!

Anyway, will post again to let everyone know how it all ends up but thanks again for all the input.

Aye, Mick

Well, just back from the suspension shop and now have Kings and Bilsteins fitted.........MASSIVE imrpovement over the OME ride quality. Actually a softer ride which is what I was after and all the harshness that used to be transfered through into the car has virtually gone.
Very pleased with the on road performance of the set up and will see how it goes off road this weekend.
Again thanks for all the advice, Mick
