sorry to go abit off the topic mate but just wanna ask about the the evo collies.. wats your opinion on them? i've heard good things about them, especially in terms of handling but what about comfort? more specifically how do they take speed bumps cuz therz about a million of them where i live? i'm rolling on spax springs at the mo which are cr*p and had just about enough of them.. really uncomfortable! i was looking at eibach springs and bilstien shocks but for a little bit more i could just get the evo's, what do you reckon?

yea im really pleased with them and for the money you cant beat em! my mate went for the FK ones and we got them around the same time. his are all rusty and seized but i took a toothbrush to mine the other day and under the mud and grit they are as shiney as ever!!
as for the ride and handling, they will go as low as you want and lower and ther very simple to adjust. they ride however is VERY harsh, you feel every little bump in the road and if you hit a big one at 50+ mph you usually come off your seat lol. speed bumps over 15mph? no way lol they can be a pain sometimes but i love how low it is and the way it looks when your bouncing down the road an doing 45+ off a roundabout
if you have anymore questions feel free to ask!

chill lol, apparently the shocks have to have some movement in them and my front ones had none lol. the only movement was on the tires flexing but i cranked them up 4 inches an took it somewher else and they didnt even mention them

gonna say mate, i have fk highsport coilovers and they never said anything about mine being to low!, that is b****x if they said that at the other place, so what will happen if they MOT a ferrari? they have hardly any movement in there suspension! haha
