Have you considered Koni's? They tend to be cheaper than the Bilsteins.

I've just changed my set up to adjustable coilovers, I had Bilstein shocks with custom Kings springs and I found them to a little to soft/saggy, they couldnt handle the weight of the equipment in the boot. The ride was alright.

how did u manage to get the sportline kit.. most places I dont can only get the pro-kit.. should be a good setup unless others have had bad personal experiences with em..

stealth: sydney shocks..

my car's lowered already[possibly chopped] so i have a feeling sportline may keep the same ride height or may be a bit higher than i got now..either way i'm happy
hmm so nobody else used these models??????????

anyone able to help?

Yer ring sydeney shocks..they know exactly what they are talking bout..if the shocks are too soft or too hard they can be revalved there to suit your specfications

Hey crxzzR, I've run with Yellows and Prokits before, my best mate has the Sportlines instead. THey're a fantastic setup, but make sure you get the Sportlines. Not only do they sit slightly lower, they have a stiffer spring rate, or at least FEEL like it. :)

Haven't used the Bilsteins, might want to ask Matt/McChook, as I believe he's had experience with both shocks. Either way you'll be onto a good thing. Good luck. :)

you want a good set of springs
get Jim Hunters,they may be a lil expensive but sure are worth it champ!!

already got the eibach's awaiting delivery of my bilsteins..
