I have b12 and an happy enough but if I had my time again I would go v b16. Not because of height adjustability, more because of dampers adjustment.

I find b12 perfect height for M4 LCA and TS in stock wheels. But when wanting other wheels it would be beneficial to have adjustable height.

Also, I think if I had to pick I would have the setup a few clicks stiffer than what b12 provided.

Although b14 and b16 Are completely different spring rates to b12 so who knows.

Crashy is different to Firm.. many people think they don't want it too hard because they relate that to crashy and uncomfortable but you can have hard and firm but not uncomfortable. That's my preference.

It's only when you've experience it that you understand. It's almost like it can't be told. Lol

I'm happy and don't want to sound negative at all. B12 is a vast improvement but ide be lying if I said they were the best thing since sliced bread.

I think the dampening on other cars .e.g Porsche, and possible even the F40 m135i / new golf R is better than even b12.

But it's also about the whole car. It's not just about dampers.

I don't think b12 damper would be suited to much harder springs that what come with b12 kit. You would need better dampers again. But they are 550 quid so can't complain.
