hickster Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'll get some pictures up later today hopefully. They are the older Koni street kit (before you had to pay for the tiny H&R logo). Larkspeed were doing them for £180, but I had the last kit apparently. They seem much better than I was expecting but I certainly wouldn't want to pay much more for them, I needed shocks anyway and these were cheaper than a set of KYB or Bilsteins. From the short (and fairly careful!) drive I've had on them they seem to ride like oem (good for me) with just a touch more harshness on heavy compression. The springs are heavily progressively wound as you can see in the pic, so we'll see how they react to being thrown around. I like the rake that some people didn't get on with when they had them on MB6s I'm only interested in performance I don't want it too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKH25 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Nice one mate, I've been recommending those clearance strt kits at Larkspeed for a while now, glad somebody got one, seemed a right bargain to me. Looks like it sits pretty well, I don't think you get quite as much rake as in an MB6 and a little bit of nose down is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it sits pretty well, I don't think you get quite as much rake as in an MB6 and a little bit of nose down is good. I know- I probably owe you a pint! It does sit fairly well certainly not as DTM as James' used to look anyway. I have a sneaking feeling I have bent my arb as the pass side sits lower at the front even on level ground- may be just a settling issue though. I think some ZS180 bits may be next on the list. Looks a lot better... Decked! wow those look nice! and give the deck a really nice drop! good work! I have already grounded out the towing eyes at the front on the curb outside my house- officially down with the kids! In other news I have swapped the horrid blue 20smd side lights for some 5w cree ones; loads better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
