Reasonable for what they cost IMO, a lot of people will say they are rubbish, but some of those also sell other makes of damper.

They are ok for the price you pay. I personally think they are let down by cheap springs.

What is a new set of front springs worth ?

 

I think there at a cheap price but could be wrong !!

 

I was also going to keep the original springs as im not lowering the car ,would i get more out of the shocks if i put some new springs on?

 

Thanks for the fast replies

i hope they'r ok as thats what iv got, just not driven on them yet! i used a set of tarmac springs thatcost £50 for the pair and they seem really firm. if they'r cheap they'v got to be an improvement over standard

Iv got a set of Spax krypton on mine,with 40mm spax springs and i think they improve the road holding alot but they are very hard on the road,i had a set of Koni adjustables on my old XS and i would say these were a bit better ride on the road.
