well i have only heard good stuff, but the front shocks have gone on mine, not sure how many miles they have done, maybe 20k miles tops, but i've always been told they were good.

Not sure mate, could be longer, could be due to the fact there has been 40 profile tyre on, could be a bad set????? as i've said every has always reccomended spax and koni to me, the ones to steer clear of are gmax.

 what makes you think that? we sell lots of spax, their fixed height and rate kits are a good budget kit. their coilovers are a bit crap but overeall for cheap suspension they are fine
