Default KW coil overs on a Focus RS

Hi just been to SADs in Yeovil and he advised on fitting these to my Focus RS at £1040 fitted, they will lower the car by 40m/m drop. Im not a tight arse just asking if anyone else is using these coil overs and you get a life time garrentee.

Cheers Pete

Pricey but meant to be the best so you gets what you pays for. 40mm will be pretty low and so will be a damned hard ride, not great for everyday use but I think they are fully adjustable so you set them exactly how you want em.

Fresh shocks from Ford, you would be cheaper getting the KW kit as the rear shocks are £300 a corner. I am looking at the KW setup and at £995 posted is ok but I want to be sure it is not too uncomfortable, has no one on here got them fitted and can comment, before I purchase.

I've got KW Variant II's on my ST170. It is a harder ride, but not too excessive. Only thing I find disconcerting is the amount of noise from the shocks themselves, though this may in part be due to the uprated ARB's I have too.
