    I'm waiting on prices as I've got a few bmw people after those. Strut top mounts are an oem part.

    for everyone who has hot tuning, how do you find this suspension for road use only? too stiff?

    looking to get a set on my mk1 golf...

    thanks in advance!

    Depends mate, I love them but am running stock 60 profile tyres which reduces the stiffness, but does also reduce the handling due to tyreflex on such a large sidewall. I find it is a good compromise though.

    I would prefer 55's maybe as this would give better handling around corners but would also make the ride firmer.

    for an everyday driver and to allow a lot of fun I use 60 profiles. It beats most things round corners due to weight etc and is much more fun than a standard suspension set up.

    Know peeps in Melbourne for fitting?

    No, they're not anymore... I just roughly quoted someone for some, and found the prices had soared since our last order!!!

    Great product, and they are still worth the money (just), but they are pushing into the DMS/Leda/Hot Bits etc price bracket, and they aren't in the same league as any of these.

    The Mk1 set retails at over $3,700 now - a few hundred more and you have DMS 50mm w/out springs!

    Holy crap! stupid dollar! In that case i may look into buying DMS dampers when i'm ready. Are the DMS dampers bump/rebound adjustable?

    U dont get the point kid, not many ppl will spend more than 50% of their cars value on suspension. Regardless of the price u can get KWs, that price alone is prob more than what some cars are worth on here...
