“As per previous posts I was a little dissapointed to find the coil ends were not finished flat and appeared to look like standard springs cut down.The ride height also seems to have dropped by more than the specifications suggest.However, I was impresed with the prompt delivery and the ease of fitting.Handling is sharper (after full 4 wheel alignment) but ride quality has suffered a little ,which is to be expected I suppose.Think the old saying goes "you get what you pay for"”

“Not very impressed really, they appear to be standard springs cut down. The spring platform isn't even reshaped to give a flat seat. I wish I had bought Jamex 40mm as I had on my previous MX5, they gave more progressive bump handling.Both cars were fitted with identical KYB shocks, but the ride was better from the Jamex (and I paid less for them).On the positive side, the springs are clearly marked front and rear to avoid mistakes, and are painted a delightfully standard looking gloss black.”

“just fitted at the weekend with kyb agx shocks ,look good,car has 17's fitted and this gives it a much inproved look ,my car was allsorts of odd heights on each corner due i think to the old units being worn out, but now it sits really level all round ,ride is good i personlly don't think they feel any stiffer than stock which is a good thing for ride comfort, speed bumps no problem either ,but boy does it corner now really improved .the only thing i thought when fitting is the close coils of the spring fit good to base of shock but the 'curly' top part of spring rests only on a small area of the top mount ,if it was the same as the bottom you would have a more even fit (hope it doesn't stress one part of the spring and cause a problem) did look better when on the car though .excellent speedy delivery as always.”
