     I have a 115pd estate looking to upgrade with a shock and spring kit both the above companies do a kit for my model has anyone had experience of either manufacturer? Good or bad with any model? Also looking at perhaps uprating the antiroll bars one manufacturer has larger at the front the other larger at the back? any ideas why?

    Thanks

     The spring and strut set ups are about 295 for the weitec and 340 for the h&r! Thats about as high as i can go! Will never adjust the coilovers anyway fit and forget is my moto! Dont want huge rims either i need mpg!

     I am not looking for a huge drop they do a 35mm drop for estates that will be fine for me! A minimum of 8 speed bumps every time i leave the house and come back! no way around them!!!
