    LOL!! - in all seriousness I think this will be the next thing on my shopping list! (suspension that is).. thinking about the Koni FSD's and Eibachs as these seem to be a good combo (is this what you have/had on yours WD?).. PFV also stock IPD sway bars as well and a stock strut brace and uprated IPD spring mounts will probably finish the job off nicely..

    I'm keen to try and get a balance between performance and comfort as I never quite managed this in my last car and I was forever avoiding cobbles, potholes and any road which didn't resemble velvet!

    I've got the Koni FSD and eibachs, with the HD A/R bars from IPD. Works well for me!

    or if you want to save a few quid i will soon have a set of koni adjustable,s with eibach springs for sale, shocks have covered around 8000 miles and the springs about 3000 i reckon, at least u get to choose the ride comfort with these unlike the fsd ,,, thats my opinion of course, not haveing tried both i dont know and cant compare...hth

    thanks for the reply and option Marky! - I reckon I'll probably go down the FSD route though as at least 95% of my driving is done on roads and the roads in Edinburgh are.. frankly - shocking!.. lol!!

    I had KYB AGX 4 way top mount adjustable on my last car and found them to be pretty solid (even on settings 1 and 2!) - I think the design of the FSD's better lends themselves to the type of driving I do..

    Seeing as Pang isn't interested (yeah I know jump right on in why don't I lol) I may well be interested in these when they come up for grabs
    Have you got any idea on price at all?

    Cheers
