Best kit for me was the H&R.

However other would say, Bilstein, Leda, Avo, Spax, each kit has its advantages and disadvantages. The H&R's dis-ad being its price for most people.

H&R's

Only a few people have them because of the price, but they are brilliant and compeatly changed how my Fiesta handled.

Only adjustment is the height because they gurantee to have the best setup from factory for your car, and after fitting them I couldnt disgree with their settings, sticks to the road like glue.

I totally agree with what chum and stoned have said, I've just got the H&R and the difference is amazing :o , really is worth the extra if you can afford it.

I know GAZtronic coil-overs r better than Avos (which r good) so for the money sound like the best value. :wink:

How much is the H&R kit?

i got the gaz coilovers for 400 notes brand spankers. they look quality see how they go if i have any problems will message straight away picking the 18's up on monday and going to the body shop to fit them on my car on tuesday before its all sprayed to check that they dont rub on the lowest setting.

I know H&R are rated to the max but the way i look at it is i ainr rallying the car have only got coilovers so i can fit 18's so price and comprimise come into it.

cheers Peeps

hopefully car will be ready for trax it should stand out from the rest one of paint work and body mods.

will take pictures when its completed for all to see.
