Right, i'm thinking about purchasing a 'BILSTEIN Streetline Suspension Kit'
Any of you got these or have any views?

Seems quite a fair price at £200 and lowers by 40mm

Are these the black ones?

tbh bilstein is superb quality, ive got the sprintline kit (yellow) on mine and the streetline (black) on the misses motor.

Can fault them at all.

Dampers are the same as Gmax dampers, made by a company called DeCarbon.

Streetline kit is crap. Go for the Sprintline or nothing.

yellows all the way, but they are pricey. Havn't used the blacks personally, but have heard mixed reports.
