Dont go cheap whatever you do No Just be throwing money away as they will end up worse than standard Yes KW are held in high regard on here while spax and gaz will not be bad, i would forget the others if your just going to take a punt Yes

Personally i would try and raise £300 quid more and go for a set of AST's, having driven adamb's rallye i was very impressed how smooth and stable the ride was Yes

Ledas aren't great any more tbh - pretty much the same as Gaz. Well the designer is certainly the same!

Chris I really would add the ASTs to your list - PM vts_tibi if you want an impartial opinion as he's got a set and obviously didn't help develop them. They are worth it I think and can be completely setup to your spec and what you use the car for, rather than being an off the shelf kit. Therefore tailored to TB rates, different ARBs and most importantly what you use the car for! Smile

If you go with the Gaz get in touch with a distributor first and they'll valve them for your use rather than just using the off the shelf track setup, which is rather stiff if you're doing a lot of road use.
