Not sure if there are many MR2 experts on here, but I need some advice on suspension kits.
My front shockers have gone (probably made worse by trying to keep up with the Scoobs over Snake Pass on Sunday
) and I have realised it may be cheaper to buy an aftermarket kit such as Spax, than paying through the nose for Toyota Struts.
Anybody know a decent suspension kit for the MK2 MR2 - ov 94 model. I want to keep the ride height etc, and dont want it any harder on the ride.

Simon,
I've had Spax in the past and they are a bl00dy harsh ride. They handle well but it aint comfy.
Just get some direct replacements but "non" Toyota such as Monroe or similar. Nice and cheap, good shocks, original ride height and will not make it harder.

Spax are bloody awful, just like Jamex ( now named gmax ).
Go with Koni or Bilstein for shocks ( dont really like bilsteins myself but others rate them )
Probably chassis dynamcis for springs ( if they do your application ) or good old Eibach.

Best place to ask is the MR2DC technical discussion forum. www.mr2dc.com (click on technical) Every piece of kit you can imagine will have been tried by somebody on there.
