if you offer £160 for the hottuning ones you should get them, thats what i paid for the VR's ones

Ive just wound him up, as i was on the group buy, but now due to some gay reasons, i cant buy them..... :(

Ive got the same issue really mate. Im looking to spend about the same amount of cash and obviously want the best set up i can buy. I do around 300 miles travelling a week so need the car not to be to firm but obviously i want it to sit right and handle well.

I personally think that i would be better buying a high quality sports suspension set up like the koni str t's or maybe bilstein b10's these set ups are the best kits that these renowned and high quality suspension manufacturers offer rather than some unknown german brand who only sell thier coilovers cheap as chips on ebay.

Now im not saying the hottuning kits are bad quality. Thats not my point. Point is do u buy the highest quaility sports set up available or do u buy a very popular coilover set up that may not be the best ride quality but does the job admirably and is reccomended by loads of people on here?........

I have recently changed my suspension over to coilover very impressed with the handling and the ride is not as bad i thought it may of been! I had to break the top centre nut as mine were siezed i drilled through the nut to break it off the strut if you take it easy its not to bad a job!
