thats great thanks pablo, i think i am definatly going to go that direction :agree:
and the price seems quite resonable as well
having read there page, are you going to go for the complete kit or just the front end coil overs, i owuldnt mind some feedback on the lowered spring plates for swing axle

Im going for the whole jobbie, shocks and bars.

I think its rather expensive meself compared to a set of dropped spindles, (under £200) I am going to wait til Bugfreeze to see if they have them on a show special.

I think I will still need to spend more on a pair of caster shims and those bumpsteer bushes to relocate the steering arms underneath, depending on how much I lower it.

But having said that its IMHO a better way to lower the front than those weld in adjusters. The dropped spindles might still be the way, the only drawback is the width.

i was looking at it as more of lowering while improving the handeling a coil over type suspension is surely better than the old torsion leaves? i dont like the weld in adjusters#( i lost all handeling characteristics of a bug, it handeled like the titanic!) and dropped spindals dont really take the car low enough for me
