On e-bay mate,
hottuning do them for Â£200 but apparently if you make an offer of Â£150 they accept.

According to people who have fitted them, they are as good as anything this side of Â£300. So unless you want to spend more than that.......!

the budget ones are brill. ive run mine for a good few months now and they are holding up a treat. just one thing they are prone to seizing so make sure the threads are well lubricated.
altho a little harsh on the ride you get what you paid for and in my eyes are a really good set!
peice of p*** to fit if mechanicly minded!

do the good thing...get a set

Depends how low you go, and how big the speed bumps are.

The standard hard rubber ones that are split into three aren't too bad, 1st gear slow and windle over them. It's biggish concrete ones you want to look out for.

cock one wheel up onto them mate and try going down one side to getting 2 wheels on the same side on top of the bump! im low mate and i have many speed humps around me! take it steady and yeah with tim 1st gear slow!

Easy to fit if you know what your doing. Yes camber and tracking needs doing, that's it. Depends on the kit you buy, they go down to about 120mm.
