Has anyone got a set of these or heard anything about them ? Looking to order some suspension this week and not too sure what to go for.

I personally wouldnt.

You'd be better off with some Eibach springs and standard dampers if you want handling.

I've only ever seen Vmaxx coilovers used by people who wind them all the down and leave them there...

I had been considering a set for my Clio, However i have been reliably informed they are very soft, Ideal for the road, But i;'ve seen some pics of them on track and they seem to roll a bit

Think i'll give these a miss then.

May just go for a decent springs/shocks kit. Any opinions on whats good and whats not ?

The car will be used firstly as a road car and the occasional track day.
