There are 2 kits, If you mean the cheaper one (?189) then if they really are Bilstein shocks then that's gotta be a bargain, if you mean the Koni adjustables (?339) then I can't help as I've never had Koni's - I can however advice NOT to get Avo shocks - I bought a kit from them 3 years ago and I'm less than impressed.
:evil:

Barney means the Bilstein yellow kit (not on that link) - They are the expensive Billys.
But like Barney said - never heard anyone say anythig bad about Bilstein.

:+: cheers mate...yeah that is what I meant!

Would be tempted to go for the Ultra Low kit for just over ?200...

-60mm would be harsh on 16s though wouldnt it?

how about on 15s?

How do you reckon a Nova with no anti-rolls bars, front upper strut brace and 16s would handle with that Ultra Low Bilstein kit (-60mm)

compared to a Nova with...

Standard SR suspension, anti-roll bars and -40mm Springs...?

- Hope that make sense Lol!

the bilstein kit on that link have 'original' dampers, they are direct replacement and are about 10% up-rated. i have them and they are quite good.
