thats why I said avo/spax because they are an allrounder, half decent and relatively cheap.

Get what you pay for, my BMW genuinely doesn't feel like it's got coilovers on it, the ride is amazing.

I have heard good things about AP Coilovers and they seem dirt cheap.

Anyone know any different?

the main feature is the inverted mono tube damper, the pss9 has 9 settings of damping adjustment also (they do a pss10 for some cars which has 10 settings)

they are very good quality, never had one fail either.
