Venom coilovers. Not air! :D

Venom? They look like the raceland/Jom/vmaxx type.  :sick: Spend ~£100 more and get weitecs.

They are made by spax, great build quality from what I've seen. Wont be JOM quality for 500. My mate had a budget set then got Venom and said they are sensational  in comparison

Don't really see how running coiloverrs as low as most of us do the more expensive makes would be a different. Let's be honest we all run them that low for the look, not because we want them to handle well :lol:

I wouldn't run the new ones low, they don't go low! Would fit them with new wheels (which will have normal size tyres), and should transform the car's handling from what it is now.

Careful, you ain't got there yet.

Get some Bilstein B6 struts and Eibach springs instead and I'll drive to Plymouth and shake you by the hand.

Coming to Germany next year then?  :grin:
