In what way is it Sh!t?

Like I said before the Golf really is just a workhorse that I want to look a little modified, but all my cash needs to go into the mini to keep it competative.

One front spring shorter than the other, shortened springs without shortened dampers, ride ROCK hard.

Like I said the other night Nick, the Ventura springs from GSF I put on the wifes Polo makes the ride bloody hard, so I would presume the kit they sell would include these springs, as they are relatively cheap.

Have you cosidered standard shocks and the Eibach springs, it'll bring it down about 30-40mm and suit the OE shocks a treat. I have ridden in a few cars with standard shocks and eibachs, and the difference is negligible.

Stuff it I'll get the GSF kit and see how it goes. I'm fine with rock hard suspension from the years of driviing the mini sat on the bumpstops.

Why not buy standard kit from Euro Car Parts?

This is why I am asking the question.

The Eurocarparts kit is £206 including postage. It's £20 more and I wasn't sure if it was any better value for money.

I got the streetline kit from ECP with ventura springs and bilstein shocks and I can't complain about them at all. Have you spoken to Stuart at ECP in Leeds as he will give you 10% discount for ordering from this site ?

Really? That makes it the same price as the GSF kit!

Coooooool!
