New suspension kit.
« on: 06 June 2011, 09:46 »
Can anyone recommend a suspension kit? The front shocks have gone on my year old jamex kit.. Yep, bought cheap so gotta buy again. I have a budget of about £200-250. Im looking for something that will handle but most importantly it needs to last..
Cheers jamie.

cool, my car feels like a canal barge the past couple of weeks. how long should they be expected to last. i dont exactly rally around the place though the roads are crap around here lately.

how do people actually rate the FK coilovers and are there any others i could stretch to?..  dont really want them failing shortly after a 12 month. :tongue:

im not neseccerely after coilys, dont see the point in them unless you want to raise/drop the height often..  a fixed damper and spring kit will do me fine, been looking a the koni str.t kit on awesomegti, theyre a little over my budget but seem quality assured. :tongue:
