    I wasnt aware that "german suspension kit " was now a brand name!

    Avoid these mate and go for sometihng a little more reputable like koni,eibach,H&R etc..

    V6 4motion bora,Leather recaros,xenons,Koni coilovers,BBS RC's,R32 steering wheel,R32 Full FIS Clocks,Cat back milltek,GLI tailights,ECS stage 2v2 brakes....more to come.

     Agreed - how can they legally print this

    Beware of spring kits or kits that use standard shocks they will destroy the ride and handling of your car and can be dangerous.

    My standard shocks have lasted 4 years albeit I'm about to change them for... Standard Gas Shocks!
