can only find koni red set from Regal and they are 242 quid, anyone know of anywhere cheaper?

koni kit. Top class stuff

i have apex nova -40mm so it sits about -40mm, handles well

I have apex springs and spax shox 60mm drop no complaints the ride is smooth an handles a dream, until u get to speed bumps or potholes.....:cool:

I like the sound of the koni red set, i mean, i'll pay up to about 250. Not too bothered about handling, well don't want it too be rock hard, cause it only goes to and from work and round seafront a bit. John_C where was that from?

koni red set cost me 219, thats 40mm will 17's. a bit bumpier but not too bad

actually handles better than it did. would prob b even better on standard 14's

G-max shocks and springs drop more than they say, and with 17s itl handle like poo.

I have 60mm Gmax lowering springs with Pi shocks. Bloody bumpy but got the set for £85 second hand. Its good enough, and would say it drops it by about how much it should.

Gmax kits are about £200-£220 and Apex are about £240 I think.

how much do u wanna spend m8?

Wanting to get a suspension kit, just springs and uprated dampers, for my corsa b with 17's, only wanting to drop it 40mm max, preferably 40f/30r split. anyone got any advice on which kits are best value and actually lower what they say they do

Cheers, Sparco :)
