That's what I put on mine, They have only been on only a matter of days so not really been able to test them. I have put mine at a decent ride height also (not riding just on the wheels) as figure you'll not get the benefit of decent handling if you sit it right down and adjust them to rock ard  :wink:

All in all, there is a significant drop tho - it does kinda feel a little like being sat in a mini when you go over bumps, you do get that feeling of just rubber bump stops  :grin:   I am well happy with it tho...... where you thinking of getting them done?? I can recomend Awesome for it but I not sure they're the cheapest place on the planet!!!

you wont be able to lower them really low if you have a kit on the car.

Mine had to be raised cause it was scraping on the front when i went over a speed bump!

Does handle very well though.

Woo hoo, got em last night, guy selling them in the for sale section. There off a cabby but i dont think thats gonna be to much hassle. I think the springs are a bit harder but with all the stuff in the boot im hoping it wont cause any greif. Do your shocks have G3 on the rears and G5 on the fronts????   Gonna clean em up this morining after i've serviced the father in laws MK3    Cant wait to fit em though, very happy camper.   :grin:
