Cheers peeps, although coilovers are sweet i don't really need the height adjustability. I was thinkin is there not a kit that will provide good handling in that price range that isn't heoght adjustable. I wouldn't mind some FK highsports but they a bit out of ma price range.

DONT fit konis. i had them and found them very unforgiving, very harsh ride.

get the bilsteins. and stay with a 40-50mm drop

on the front struts on bilsteins the piston rod is twice as thick as any other manufacturer, and they are top build quality.

in the 350-400 price range, nothing else comes close!
