Don't get Spax both me and jon have used them with problems and they seem like they've still not fixed thm.

 

[Matty Baby]

ok have decided against de spax and have ordered the ultimate ones from k tec neone got dese, and neone know how long delivery takes?

 

[16v_jon]

K-Tec are usually good for delivery the ultimate springs are unheard of but they should be ok, your rear dampers will fail quicker but if you not going to have them on for long then it doesnt matter

 

[Matty Baby]

what even at a 35mm drop??? that aint good how long you talking??

cheers

 

[16v_jon]

The rear dampers are pish to start with, ages ago i had pi 35mm springs the rear dampers failed after 10 k with them on

 

[Matty Baby]

not gonna be doin much miles next few yrs so aint too bad if its bout 10k miles. Still didnt expect that bad wear from 35mm. Oh also does 35mm actually make a noticeably lower stance??

cheers

 

[16v_jon]

on a 1.2 16v yes, ill post some pics of mine tomorrow when i had the PI's on

 

[Matty Baby]

I went though 3 sets or rear dampers in under 8k.
First set lasted 2k only as it took me a while to arange to get Demon tweeks to chnage them. Second set lasted 3k or so.

 

[16v_jon]

My car lowered 35mm, got only the shell remains original these days

 

[Matty Baby]

yeh dats cool man, plus mine will be lower with 15's. all good for 90 odd quid really.

cheers
