    I would steer well clear of budget suspension personally.

    Ive had so much greif with crap stuff in the past that it nearly makes me cry thinking about it.

    FFS avoid Pi, Terra & Bilstein black componenets. In my experience GMAX is rubbish aswell. Get some decent 2nd hand gear.

    agree with craig here.....

    if a) your fitting them to a big block then get GOOD suspension (coil overs... and yes avo are ok if your not rick )
    b ) you intend to track any engine sized car.... again coilovers. OR bilstein yellows + good springs.

    buying cheap sus you will regret, then want good stuff so it technically costs you twice.

    I only want it to lower my 1.0 for the look so not really that bothered about handling etc will uprage to coilovers if I fit a 16V engine

    Cheers

    Surely it would be a crime to grace such a clean motor with a nasty, bouncy cheap tat excuse for a suspension kit?

    Ive always liked the look of the Venom motorsport Vipertech dropshox kit.

    IIRC its about ?220 & you get powerflex bumpstops & dust covers plus allegedly decent springs & shocks aswell as a usefully long warranty.
