I bought my B6s from

Best price at the time, no delivery problems.

You'll probably need to replace the top bearing mounts - the ball bearings were shot on mine - (Item 1):

I changed the front ARB to a 28mm H&R, but kept the original rear, having read a number of differing opinions - this has eliminated the front roll almost completely, and given great balance to the handling, which is now virtually neutral (unless I'm in the mood to play) :twisted:.

I replaced my suspension in stages, but one of the most significant improvements was replacing the springs, which were worn/ broken with H&R progressive springs - the last piece in the jigsaw, great ride quality and now the handling is just perfect for me.
