Default i'll check my bentley for you now, but a question..

what springs and more importantly what shocks did you use (rear especially) when you lowered your car.

Remote control central locking system, components

1 - Control module radio control
Mounted under rear seat bench.
2 - Wiring harness/integrated antenna
1-2 meters (3.3-6.4 ft.) of antenna cable is insulated and fastened to wiring harness with cable ties.
Approx. 20 cm (7.8 in.) of antenna cable is non-insulated and fastened with two adhesive strips to the left wheelhousing.
3 - As many as four transmitters are possible for radio-remote operation

Removing and installing control module -J276-

- Remove rear seat bench and seat back
- Loosen radio control module mounting bolts.
- Disconnect wiring harness connector at control module.
- Install in reverse order of removal.

Default re: question..

i used g-maxx springs but not sure if available in u.s they are cheap and say -35mm but more like -40mm, as for shocks i've used bilstiens.
slightly springy ride but you get what u pay for but having air fitted one day so not to concerned. any kit would be a bonus from having all that body roll on standard springs/shocks lol......

Default well according to the benley, item 1 is the controller for the locks

which is different than what they said in the other pic (i'll load in a sec) and there were no detailed wiring schematics. I have not had to mess with mine yet so i can't really help you out any.

The reason i asked about your bilstiens was because the bilstien rep. told me that they don't make a shock to fit the rear of a cabriolet, only the front. If you have any way to find out i'd appreciate the help, if not, thanks anyway.
