Glad to hear your finding out what a difference a good set of shocks can make.
Enjoy!

Now all you have to do is save up for a Fays2 watts-link for another big WOW!

Hmm, sound expensive...

I know my tires aren't the best, but I'd like to add some hp too, hmmm.....

Many people answered many questions before I saw the light, and I realise now my lack of listening was due to the cost of konis, bad way to chose mods..

Thanks for the patience, and taking the time to help, you all know who you are

Pleasure. Stock springs, still sits a bit high in the back for my liking, but the ride quality is great.
Dive in, you won't be dissapointed

The one thing that I was really happy with is the braking performance. It really helped a few weeks ago when the person in front of me blew out his rear tire on the expressway.
