doctor G has these and they look good on his car, and are excellent quality.

My SX is bouncing like Jenna Jameson if she was on top of me, turns out the right rear shock is seized.

I got a no. from some post for MR Steve Hurley in Hennops Park to fit a set of Koni coil overs for me. I getting it done this Saturday.

Firstly, thanks for the heads up....!

Secondly, Has anyone fitted them before?

they're called s-tech lowering springs.

the site says that they lower the car by 45mm in front and 30 mm at rear.

the spring rates are 3.2kgf/mm front and 2.9kgf/mm rear.
