Be aware of companies that offer them cheap. They are usually around the £600 mark for konigsports and your front struts have to be sent to FK and checked before. Otherwise you pay a fairly big surcharge on them.

i dunno how the ride quality would be tho....
was thinking of coilies as the car will be parked in my garage on aramped platform, so if the cars lowered then it SCRAPES LIKE FOOK driving off it, so i thought i could raise the height then lower it once on flat ground.
