Talking to a chap at Demon Tweeks the other day about suspension, and he was telling me about Weitec, a German company who were new but apparently good quality. (T.U.V approved if that makes a difference)

I want new springs and shocks, 60/40 drop, not madly expensive as it's just a second car so I'm not really after the ultimate setup. These will cost £417 fitted and tracked.

Fancy the H&R cup kit from the 'Zone shop, but I really need the purchase and installation to be at the same time.

Any opinions?

Thanks!

£417 fitted dose sound good, but they cant "track" the rear end without fitting new camber/caster adjusting bush's on the rear trailing arms.

As no one has screamed 'Don't do it!' yet I may well give them a bash and see what they're like....

Yes, £288 for the kit and £129 for the fitting and alignment. It seems to sit in nicely between not being the ultimate but not being to crap either. I see they've got them listed on www.dubmeister.co.uk as well.

Should hopefully have it arranged to be done in the next few weeks. I'll let you know the result :)
