I was speaking to a guy who has recently fitted these to his car.he had the full prodrive handling pack and recons these are better.he told me that awd in scotland are doing them for £850,seems good value if they are up to the job.

anyone else running them,how are they on track?

I looked @ these but people put me off so I went for the Bilstein PS9 kit, Not taken to the track yet but I recent they'd be pretty hard to beat as road/track day setup.

mark,

what had people said,to put you off them?

I was told that spax used to be bad for leaking and that the springs were cheap and sagged fairly quickly,but the new ones were better.

mind you I was told that avo had improved and I am glat that I never bought those,as people still seem to be having a lot problems with them.
