...Do people use? what are the best and how much do they cost?
if you could say what you use, your opinion of them and how much they where/where from, it'd be very helpfull.

Vmaxx are a good budget make as is Jamex ones, both can be picked up for about £300
All depends what you want out of them,if its just for an odd b road blast then the budget ones are spot on imo

I got those at the moment. I find they perform quite well imo but in fairness it is quite a firm ride according to my m8's, but im fairly use to it, doesn't bother me.
I think their good value for money but i prob will upgrade eventually though.

This man speaks the truth, mine have done the same. The rears have never been a problem for me.
I'm going for KW's next or maybe gaz items.
