I've only seen koni adjustables around the £400 mark. Where can you get them for that price?

i got mine from ebay. they frequently appear on there, though if you dont want to wait for them on ebay i would recommend new shocks and some spax springs. they have done well enough for me so far.

Just wrote this in the other similar post.
Myself :I'd be careful with putting lowered springs to standard dampers. I'd be worried about springs popping out of suspension cups, particularly at the rear.
People say it produces a decent ride (retaining comfort but increasing rigidity) but i've never actually heard/seen evidence of people that have done this.
The spax vsx (non adjustable) kit is available at around the £250 if you do a bit of shopping. As I said before it is slightly lower than 30mm, more 40mm. Ride is very hard but the car does stick to the road and roll is descreased.
If your looking to improve looks and handling, cheaply I would recomend this kit. Spax are now TUV approved which exceeds UK standards. It all comes as a kit so theres no messing around. I would however build the suspension up with a new rubber doughnut, bearings etc...
