Not sure.
But I got a good deal on some Koni's as they wanted to get rid of them.
Not a lot of 19's left. So good kit for the time can be found cheap.
I'm not saying that they are good but.
280 squids is still a lot of dosh to put into an old car.
+ VAT I'm a complet muppet.
Call them and ask for half |

I'm an old fart so it takes me a while to type.
Konis did not have springs and all.
If you are having a love affair with your car the skys the limmit;
How cheap is cheap.

I have adj Konis all round, they are ok and are quite new...but even set hardest setting... still a bit too soft (may need firmer springs at the front..but rears are torsion bars) I have just bought a set of Gaz coilovers which have a lot more settings.. I'll try those sometime.
I was looking at those K-Tec coilovers.. and I think they would be good.. but not the top end of the market.. or the bottom end. |

i am just looking to up grade the standard suspension but with something not to complicted, all i'm after really is a small amount of lowering but most importantly better handling. |

Front Koni's are realy good.
Back are good at speed but slower over a speed bump tend to throw the misses and kid through the roof. But thats how they work to control the springs.
Bump puts the the car up, drops back down on the springs, tack the shocks center it, done.
The car will work better with original length springs with good shocks controling it.
Lowering is not good for handling |
