   I am selling this on behalf of a mate of mine but not sure whether to pick it up off him. Anyone have any experience of them?

   Just fitted the kit to my car, handling is much better and -40mm looks spot on

   I have a spax non adjustable kit, 40mm springs and dampers. Is a tad crashy but thats to be expected, handles much better over standard I'd reccomend it to anyone tbh.

   yeah i might have to take a look. i guess with the adjustable ones, you can dial out the crashyness

   Having the driven the spax psx kit for about 6 months on my old saxo i found that the adjustment on the psx kit was not really that brilliant. Could only really feel a bit of difference between the two extremes of the kits setting being fully soft and fully hard let alone the 26 stages in between those two.

   I've always run adjustable dampers on softest for road use (whatever brand)

   You sure? I find there's a massive difference between the softest and hardest setting.
   
   I have my Spax PSX kit on 8 clicks from fully soft - that's all my back can manage on these roads haha.
