AST or KW are the only two I would consider Tein, Cusco etc are way to hard for UK roads.

I have lots of experience with AVO (no!) and AST's and their supplier, Powerstation, and that would be my suggestion. Call them (above banner) and get to talk to Curtis.
Tell him '911' sent you.

I have Tein Super Street and I´m very happy with it performance and they´re not very hard, but to and STI is better Tein Flex.


P.D.- Spanish roads are awful

Have just fitted as set of KW Varient3 to the Wagon, so far im very impressed. Slightly bumpy on Northamptons finest roads !! and the ride height has dropped nicely (although I have the ability to drop/raise further and change damp/rebound)

Only downside noticed so far is when the missus borrows the car, apparently it is too firm and hurts her lady bumps.
