Put it this way, they are leagues ahead of the other big manufacturer in their price range (AVO) in terms of build quality and customer service.

Have put taller springs on - went from the 6 or so inch gaz provided ones to 10 inch ones. Also went for harder springs, so the car didn't squat on track
Tim's got 9 inch ones on i think as well


Stopped it doing this at the back, mine were on the end of the adjustment to:
