Right, cos i ain't got all the money together that i hoped, i am gonna buy a suspension kit, rather than coilovers, they will prob be on car for 6 months or so......till i get the coilovers, so hopefully could sell em on here...

What can i get for £300 or under, don't want Apex..

i want -60mm i reckon, or can u get adjustables?

any recommendations?

If it's only on for 3 months, then just get springs.

FK High Tec kit's good for the price with some interesting drops (35-40 all round, 60/40 or 75/50).
For 6 months, Apex isn't going to be bad.

G-max are the same as Apex - basically no frills shocks and springs.

FK High Tec between £267-287 depending on which kit you choose

We've got some in stock - not sure which as I'll need to know which one you're after.

They're decent kits - made in Germany, TUV approved. Not the same league as Koni's or Bilstein's but they're a lot cheaper.

I suggest you for get about spending all that money on crap and just save for coil overs.

That is my thought also Vibs. 6 months isn't long to wait - if you must have it low for shows, etc then springs alone would be fine surely. Obviously we're happy to sell a full kit

i know what u saying, would be more sensible to save that money......but i will get the coilovers when the engine goes in, gotta do brakes too then......may as well do it all in one hit, plus i don't think i can live with the current suspension much longer.....feels so crap.

Just gotta get bumper now, and i gonna want a grill from pvd too...

the more i think about it, the more i reckon -40mm will do...
