Thanks Chris, a great help I can see flecks of yellow under the black paint so who knows...I would like to find out more about them tho, I think realistically I should order some coilover suspension tomorrow as I will need the car to be used as a road car for a while aswell ...but i'll definatly keep hold of the koni's even if I just fit them for a track day and compare them to the coilovers....see how I get on. Again thanks for your time Was speaking to dub nutta about the straps you suggested...I can see this being the best option if I was to keep them on. It looks like a battle between the Koni's and the FK Konigsport at the moment, both have been highly recomended...i'm afraid those rather tasty leda's you mention or out of the question at present
KW Variant 2's are very good. Also Weitec coilovers like i have on my Mk1 come highly recomended. they are to all intents and purposes a KW Variant 2 made in plain steel and zinc plates and fitted with green springs. they're good value for money IMO. Before picking the Weitec's up cheep I was looking at having some GAZ coilovers made with custom piston lengths and spring rates and they worked out amazingly cheap when combined with a trade discount. Defintly worth a phone call as they keep a standard Mk1 kit on the shelf now i think.
