350 quid then.

 

thought they might be cheaper than that TBH.

 

coilovers are a little out of my price range atm, and the ride height is getting on my nerves, seeing all the lowered C's on here

do you mean the Top Adtustable ones?

 

i have these with the matching koni springs on my VR6 and it feels great

 

I second that. It is a good kit. Feels very similar to my Koni + H&R setup, which can only be a good thing 8) and a lot cheaper!

well IMO there great. not as hard as i was expecting actually. i heard alot of horror stories about the koni's being too hard and that i should have got the H&R but after having them on for about 3 weeks im really happy and they are not that hard after all. Kevhaywire drove it aswell and as he said...there not much harder than his H&R springs

 

Im still not quite happy about the ride height at the rear.. The springs are suposed to be 40mm lowerering springs and i set the rear shock on the middle setting (there are 5 height settings but you have to dismantle the shock to adjust it) but it is still sitting higer than the front infact its probably higher than kev's and his are only 30mm springs and he tells me his are on the one above the middle??? :?

you'd expect them to sit higher at the back, if you set the height the same on them, as the front is heavier :twisted:

 

sounds weird that kevs is lower when the height is set the same, but if he's running a different make then that would explain it.

 

Either that or its all that pornography kev carries around in his boot :roll:

well kevs shocks are actually set 5 mm higher plus his springs lower by 5mm less than mine....so in theroy his should be a whole 1 cm higer i think??!!

 

i will get round to taking the rears apart soon and setting them to the lowest level which should drop mine another 1cm at the rear.
