Spent the last week reading old threads and looking upon the net to try and decide on some suspension.

will be hoping to do an engine conversion at some point and running 15's or 16's.

got it down to these companys.

BILSTEIN
EIBACH
FK
KW
KONI

I have around £500 but would stretch to £750 do i get coilovers or shocks and springs?

depoends what you want from it, do u want it low and adjustable ride height, or do u want adjustable damping and a fixed 40-50mm drop? if u want to go -60mm i would g ofor coilovers. but a 40-50mm drop id go for springs and adjustable damping dampers

im tempted to loose my coilovers and get koni adjustables and eibach springs
