Suspension upgrade

Well I use mine as an everyday car.  So would you recommend the FKs? I dont plan to take it anywhere near as low as yours though, but i dont want to be breaking my neck over the smallest bup in the road either !

i'm happy with them but they may not be to your taste. i wouldn't like to say either way cos they aint too cheap if you don't get on with them. ask a few more people to see what they say. there was a thread a few weeks back all about this kind of thing which may give you a bit more advice.

Tomorrow morning I'm getting the bilstein kit fitted that Gambit mentioned earlier, it cost me ?135 (mk2 are more expensive I think) for 4 bilstein shocks and four springs (ventura), ok mines a mk1 but for the money I don't think you can go wrong. For me personally I didn't see the point spending loads of money on my car that's never going to see the track.  I'll let you know what they are like next week if you are interested.

Phil, got the kit fitted on Saturday and everything seems ok, lowered just nicely and I'll let you know how it goes after I've lived with it for a bit, first impressions are that for the price you can't complain
