Anone fitted these???
« on: 08 April 2008, 07:19 »
Hi guys, anyone used these and know if they are value for the money?  I'm wanting something that gets the car sitting right, but i don't want to do that a the cost of the handling being poor... if anyone has experience of em it'd be helpful.  I know the  weitec are supposed to be alright but so's the cost

Nope, I'm still riding on the OEM's  :cool:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Those look exactly the same as the hottuning / vmaxx / janspeed et all ones on ebay. I got my set for £149.05 + delivery, but theres the group buy going on as mentioned before.

The ride is ok, but pretty harsh. The fitment is ok on the rear, but the fronts were arse tbh, had to bend the crap outo f the bottom mounts to get them to fit. Havent has a chance to really push the handling yet.

hmmmmn  seems like i might be eibach or koni route it then! 

Its gonna be my daily ride as well as project, so i really need it to be child friendly when needed  :lipsrsealed:
other options is the FK ones, and heard disappointments about their adjustable knobs

With any of the ones in the group buys, can you fit the Koni adjustable shocks when the time comes to replacement??
