I was looking at getting a set of Koni's for my other halfs 205 1.9 gti,
and after much phoning and emailing about Rob came back with a cracking price and was by far and away the best with his customer service.
I came into work this morning and was about to order them with him, and i just browsed at ebay and there was a set brand new with 30 mins to go - postage was £2.50!
I won the bid at £224 - its a reputable company selling them - i even phoned to check they were brand new beofre i bid, as they were so cheap

I actually annoyed that i didnt pub any business rob's way because he was so bloody helpful!!

anything less than a monkey is fair game. honestly, does it come with a set spring combo or do you/others just chuck some generic lowering springs with them ? what i'm saying is, as far as i'm aware billstien dont make springs ?

whats the script

Fair play:p
Right the below list could possibly grow as I remember more odds and ends...
300mm Brake kit (grooved rotors)
Braided brake lines
Grooved rear discs?
Spax -40mm adjustable suspension kit
Hardened wheel bolts
Carbon fibre bonnet with GTE vents and fore/aft vents
Carbon fibre engine parts?
Motorsport fuel pump (suitable for external cage)
Oil cooler (what would be the best size for a 350bhp let?)
Oil cooler lines+sandwich plate
Flexible brake lines (are these MOT legal?)

Like I said I expect the list will get longer as I recall more bits:p

The majority of that is all i need to finish the car, once the Kaputt comes back from the body shop it'll be a case of putting everything back together and getting a set of alloys:cool:
Will be a set of these:

wilwood 310x32mm superlight4's off the top of my head
it will probably fit fine yeah, i do a fitting kit (4 zipties) for £500+vat ;) or if not mate you can make up a bracket to the floorpan (i would)

why spax by the way? billies sprintline yellows are 335 to you guys, ask if anyone has compared them
