[Harj]

cuz they might snap when cornering! Or maybe they are a set of standard springs compressed and sprayed! Just a thought!

The company have good feedback and the shockers are gas, and TUV approved. If your sole reason is to "drop" your car to the "max" then you can't go wrong. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's cr@p.

99% of the time it will be though, especially with cars and car parts.

 

[bruce400]

If your sole purpose is to lower your car then you can't go wrong. And don't forget these are TUV (quality) approved.

FIAT's are generally cheaper then the competition but I certainly would never call them inferior or 99% cr@p!

Just lower it on standard shocks then, they're fine for the job and proven.

That's an unfair comparison. This suspension kit is £200 when similar from good, proven brands are over double the cost. Chances are it's crap otherwise the others would be out of business by now and everyone would run these.

There's also a chance it may also be good.

Don't knock it until you've tried it (within reason).
