RS 1800 suspension and zorst advice
After a suspension set up and stainless exhaust for my recently aquired rs1800. Looking for an exhaust that isn't ear bashing loud. Suspension wise just want a 25 mm drop with a ride that not too harsh, car is a mk 3.5 so I guessing at either spax or konis??
Any advice??

Get a Magnex exhaust if you want something quite but sounds good when you put your foot down.
As for the 25mm drop, I'd go for Konis or Spax. Avoid Gmax like the plague.

Got myself a mongoose system for a decent price, just the suspension to sort, as for the spax I've heard they are very firm??

On mine, i've got a stainless 4 branch, custom de cat and a mongoose system. Its quiet when driven sensibly, but when you want to unleash the bees, it sounds great!

Your correct the Spax are rather firm
Mine is now running Koni's on the front and its far nicer on rough roads now
You may have trouble buying a Koni kit for the mk3.5 but you can get them
