    fuck that there well expensive for o.e spec bilstine dampers and cheap springs
    o.e spec bilstine dampers can be got from euro car parts for under 80 quid and your only talking 50 - 60 for a decent pair of springs.

    that was a epic fail

    am i thinking spam????

    Maybe I'm missing something (very possible) but I've just looked at Euro Car Parts and their shocks are £34.66 each for the rear and £38.19 each for the front - that totals £145.70 for the dampers. The springs you say can be had for £50 - £60 (haven't checked but happy to beleive you) - giving a total of £195.70 - £205.70 + P&P as compared to £198 + P&P.

    Don't really understand/see .... "fuck that there well expensive for o.e spec bilstine dampers and cheap springs" nor "that was a epic fail" nor "am i thinking spam???? "

    Perhaps someone can explain

    Basically its false economics to buy this kit. Why buy standard replacments with some shit springs when you can buy a decent kit. The dampers are still only standard length and sold with lowering springs. Waste of time and imo abit of a con.

    LOL - don't shoot me it's not my Ebay item - I just found it whilst surfing the bay and thought it might be useful to someone here

    Why do you assume that the springs are naff quality - have you experience of this seller before with supplying naff stuff? If not I don't get your accusations?

    I've just bought an unused Spax PSX adjustable 40mm Lowering Kit (TAP251 - sells at over £200 from Spax direct) off ebay for £170 - but I guess that'll be sh*te too
