All yours Gaz, i'm no longer interested. £450 + delivery + fitting + alignment doesn't smell like a bargain to me.

aye ditto here. There is now a mk2 place up for grabs.

Edit: If it had been more along the lines of £200 including delivery then i think you would of had much more interest after all this is an entire club that are willing to test them for you. But at £450 just for the shocks themselves and having to buy extra springs if we want to change the spring rates all seems a bit expensive to me, i mean i can get a set of konigsports for about £500 and thats a top brand model.

Sorry boss but unless there is a significant change in price i will not be participating.

I'd sooner go for a set of TEIN shox out of demon tweeks, they are fully digitally incar adjustable, to 16 different levels, and they only cost £658, as opposed to your £695 new.....
They are hardly a bargain, especially as were supposed to reveiw em......

We will chage the spring rates for people if they have not done loads of miles on them as a straight swop if the ride is to hard, or if they want them changed on ordering. I worded what i said to you wrong, if people want spring for trackday etc we can supply them on top.

Please remember that these kits are more expensive due to the amount of ajustment. They have seperate height ajustment and preload on the spring, this allows you to change the height of the car with out changing the damping in anyway as the preload remanes the same at all times.
Alot of coil over ajust the preload and height at the same time.

If any of you are from around the Bromley/Brandshatch way we will fit them and set the car up FOC :smiley:. Or if you want to drive to us the same applies. This way you have more of a reason to try them and there is no postage and we know that they have been fitted and set up right.
This will be in November sometime when they turn up.
