Hi guys. Would these be better setup than standard shocks and Tein S-Tech springs I'm running at the moment ? I mean mainly handling, because I'm not very happy from handling on Teins.

Hi Rob. Yes, I know that :-) I've already got Whiteline rear droplinks and 22mm ARB but was wondering if swapping for these coilovers will improve handling even more ?
Oh, would these fit classic ?

I also cannot comment on the handling with the coilovers, as they arnt very common, so finding people running them for feedback is difficult. Ask Tom^^ above, he had them on his classic by the looks of it

Its is just that, if you have the funds then buy a branded version, but if you were like me at the time, having an engine replaced and uprating quite a lot of other things, then I could not justify spending a grand on some branded ones. The Racelands on mine are not as Lief desrcibes, but they are not quiet by no standards, but having said that im yet to ride in a car that has no noise 
Not True, if they were cheap and nasty they would have been destroyed at Grudgement but they took it considering my set up is far from right at the moment.The quality of the product is good, and in regards to some people saying "last thing you want it them snapping" well I hit a large bump the other day that launched my car up in the air and severly buckeld my whee and knocked the tracking outl, fortunatly no damage to the coilover
Conclusion - For £300 they are spot on, if you have high expectations then keep away, but if you want to lower the car, and/or make the ride stiffer then happy days. If you serious about competition then save up and get some Branded ones.

Bren@apex will be able to sort some top mounts out for you i'm sure. When i discovered my cusco top mounts were shot i was gonna get replacements from apex as the measurements were exactly the same but i ended up going all the way and getting a full apex setup instead. The top mounts weren't badly priced, about £100 a pair-ish, if you let them know all the measurements they'll let you know theirs and you'll know if they'll fit
