Damping is set at 10 out of 16 for hardness. Far better ride quality than standard, no longer thumps through potholes and sticks to the road like glue, hardly any body roll either.

So I'm guessing the B16 or B12 etc relates to the amount of settings there are for damping?
As yours are B16 with 16 settings. Is that correct?

My LC is on 35mm H&R springs, so around a 25mm drop from standard, plus -10mm Power Flex front top mount bushes.

For me and the roads around here the drop is perfect, although the standard shocks are pretty fooked, so I plain on upgrading them to match the springs this year.

Wheels are 18inch Team Dynamics.

Thanks. It looks great.
I have an LC too and may throw my 5stars on it when I get new ones for the LCR. probably help me sell the LC.
Mines lowered 35mm too.
Have issues here and there with garage entrances etc if raised or lowered.
Don't want the LCR banging everywhere but it's the ride I'm most concerned about as have 2 "slipped" displaced discs in my back.
Been like it 4 years.
All my hobbies hurt.
Fishing, driving and my job as a carpenter. So want a small drop but same sort of ride quality as right now.

Thanks all, still off the road sadly, new turbo time....

Demon Tweaks had 44% off on the TD Pro Race in gloss black last month when I picked them up.

1.2 has too many spokes for me and the 3s don't show enough brake and disc imo.
I know it's a jap look but I also like the BuddyClub SF Pro race.
Also love the Japanese.

when looking recently I'm sure I saw Eibachs Pro Kit springs that had many options including one at 25/20 drop.

With Koni FSD's that could be a good set-up with comfort.

Cheers bud I'll take a look. Sounds like the perfect amount tbh. Any more may be a fat hassle as I do go into London lots. Bumps and thumps everywhere.

I'd like to lower mine to get rid of the arch gap, it scrapes on speed bumps as it is now though :/
