Default Complete classic suspension for £1000?

What could I get for my classic with up to this amount to spend?

I'm thinking KYB AGx shocks. Eibach springs, whiteline bits and bobs and trip to powerstation for fit, bumpsteer and wheel alignment.

What whiteline stuff can I get but still remain in budget. Budget also includes fuel there and back (2 tanks probably) and sarnies/bacon rolls on the way

Can't afford little chef (robbing little git)

rear arb, droplinks and anti lift kit approx £300, reletively easy to fit, geometry set up about £120. ive just had the tein super street coilovers for a total of £630 inc vat, plus fitting on top of that.

depending on where you are depends on amount for fuel, but if ya can go just that little bit further money wise you should have a very good set up.

the tein coilovers are minus the adjustable top mounts and edfc at the moment due to funds but your looking at about another £500 to add these at a later date.

the kyb agx shocks get a lot of good press and there is currently a groupbuy on here if it is still going.

hope this helps.

You also need to budget on £450 of impulse purchases whilst at Powerstation. We all do it - unless we take the missus.

LOL. I've learnt the hard way and leave credit cards at home.

My misses loves standing in the cold for hours whilst I witter on about cars.

I'll be getting most things over the next few months, fit what I can then book in at PS to get the bits I can't do done.

After that the car will be pretty much done (save £££ engine mods)

KYB AGX £332.?? on group buy but you ned to get them today, eibach springs £156 delivered from esp design, and the whiteline bits cost as above, so with fititng (4-6 hrs?) plus alignment you should get fairly close for your £1000 depending on who you get to do it - and the KYB's are adjustable, though not from in car.
