   I'm looking at buying this suspension kit (springs and dampers) off kam racing -
   
   http://www.kamracing.co.uk/manufactu...saxo-1119.html
   
   Whats everyones opinions on them.
   
   I don't want to spend a fortune on suspension, but at the same time i don't want something crap.
   
   Car is used on a daily basis and i want to do the occasional track day.
   
   Any other recommendations for around that price?

   I have this kit with 35mm springs...ride is a little harder than normal, but thats to be expected if lowering on uprated dampers. Great budget kit imo...
   
   Search as well as its been covered alot

   it was fantastic on the track. nice and predictable. those dampers are 'shockingly' firm though, a lot more than I was 'apex'pecting.
   
   god im funny.

   What components does that kit contain?
   
   Springs, shocks and rear dampers? or just springs and shocks for the front.

    Good piece of kit mate. I've Got the Apex sports kit on mine...bit of a stiff ride but that's expected with uprated shocks....
