if you are putting a full new suspension kit on the concensus on here seems to be the H&R cup kit for about the same money from the zone shop ,coilover if your budget will allow ,depends on how firm ..are you going on the track ...do a search and you will see how much opinions differ

This kit has very nice dampers but the springs are way way too soft and not progressively coiled.
We decided not to supply this Sprint line kit based on the fact that you get a much better kit if you buy the Bilstein dampers with H&R springs from the Zone Shop.

Sal,
Its the rear springs that have gone not the shocks, does everything have to be replaced?

If it's just the springs that have gone and your confident your shocks are ok then just buy the H&R or Eibach springs.
However, understand that when changing your shocks at the same time your saving on the labour for when your shocks do go. It doesn't cost alot more to do the shocks when your changing the springs.
It makes sense to buy the shocks and the springs.

i bought my front bilsteins from the zone shop and found them to be Ԛ£50 cheaper than my other cheapest quote with quick delivery too. the shocks themselves give a good firm ride but not overly hard like my previous spax kit
