Best ones are Ohlins :wink:

At the end of the day you get what you pay for.

Most off the shelf kits come with badly matched spring rates but you can order different springs for no extra.

I use GAZ on all my cars.

I sell them as std kits or with 8 springs to give you a good choice, and you can have an input to your choice.

Std kit £570, 8 Springs £630

Price inc postage

it's all down to personal preference and how much you are willing to spend. I can say from personal experience that my H&R's have been on the car for 5 years and i've never had any problems with them.
