Swoosh guages. Look like defis. What ya reckon
I think they look quite good, as for a road car i think the price of defis are un justifiable.

Lee, you're going to be running 15psi, not 24psi
They ain't gonna be miles out, what did people do before Stack and Defi makes me wonder sometimes...
Same with adjustable TCA's, 'you'll need em with 17's'
You never worried about it before PMSL

Bal i just reckon some things are worth trying. People think cos things cost hundreds they are the only ones to have. I KNOW for a FACT these gauges wont be A1 perfection, but they might be up to the job.
Personally i have better things to spend all that money on than some fancy gauges..unlike burbbery Dave Chavcos

nothing cheap about that kit Lee, if you saw it, bought it, fitted it. Handles better than Konis, ride height front and rear adjustable and damper adjustable front and rear. Its a road car, ohlins are absolute compettition spec
defis are NOT compettition spec, just bling gauges for the road
sssssssssssswwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooooooooooo osssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh
