I was pleased with the handling but they got very rusty very quickly. In fairness though, there was a post up on here of the other day of someone who cleaned theirs up pretty well and used some JCB industrial grease on them afterwards which should do the job

I think value wise they are the best coilover you can get for that pricerange. Bear in mind they are designed for small block engine weights so you'd be better with uprated poundage springs like Jambo's offering. You can get highsports with higherpoundage springs btw.

You could look into the FK Silverline Coilovers as an alternative. Cost £50 more than the Highsport coilovers but the struts are made from Stainless Steel and as such guaranteed for life.

Although you may need spacers if you have 17's and the camber is a bitch to do on them, so many people have had problems with fk coilovers!
