I've got them on mine mate and can't fault them. Obviously there a hard ride when lowered but i think there ideal for everyday use.

Mine was wound right down when I had them think they go to about 80mm not to sure, didnt have any problems with speedbumps, just quite a hard ride

my personal drunken opinion on coilovers all together is ether go all out (i.e £400ISH + ) or stick with more reliable uprated shocks and springs
