   The 106 kit uses sprintline front shocks rather than the more expensive saxo kit which uses group N front dampers. With that in mind its still a cracking piece of kit...

   I have the same setup and agree its a great setup but the eibachs are abit too soft for the track, great for road use though! Why do people buy new drop links?

   If you look at my progress thread you'll see my motor isnt really going to be suitable on the track
   
   I saw them for such a good price, just had to ge them. Maybe in the future i'll upgrade to coilovers but tbh, the 106 isnt able to take them all round so seem to be a bit wasted on them.
   
   Plus i want to build a new project soon for track use. I fancy a bike engined mini / saxo next.
