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 !  :laugh:

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.  :undecided: I'll let you know what they are like next week if you are interested.  :smiley:

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  :smiley:
