   Just found this:
   
   http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-COILOVER-C...item2c512fd7c4
   
   Its a set of 4? (says 2 coil over and rear dampers...) says there adjustable etc.
   
   What your thoughts? And what exactly do you get with them?

   haha, trying to get coils for over a 100mm drop, it a paint in the arse!
   they claim to do 110.
   tbh, id get them...but cheap crappy coilovers, is better than what im running atm...
   
   *shortened shocks with shortened springs.*
   when i say shocks, i mean taking them out cutting them in half and welding them back in place, when i say springs, i mean 1 coil welded into the cups at the top and bottom of the shocks...yes about 1"
   
   not that i reccomend anyone doing this! but it is semi legal...

   try leda theyve been around in the motorsport world for years and there really good and theve just brought out a saxo coilover kit. its the full strut instead of just shock inserts like the ebay cheapo's. think the kits bout 400 quid.

    "You get what you pay for"
    
    Simple as that, you buy budget parts, dont expect em to last long.
    
    A friend had them on his 106, and found they knock and rattle non stop.
