If i had to buy them again i'd go with anodised ones, my teins have the paint coming off them and there is some surface rust underneath... they'r ejust paint chip sized holes, but that'll do it...

I think Cusco are anodized and good quality and good value aswell... so i'd buy them if i had to get a new pair but plenty of other brands are the same quality.

If you want to use the FTO on long cruises and you have a choice of spring rate even if you go with 3 kilo you're doing better (about twice) as better as the springs are from factory - they are about 1.2kilo and 1.6 kilo(?) and you dont lose much ride comfort...

If its just for sporty street use, then yes, that would be perfect - and a good price.

Yea it's only for street use, last owner decided to lower the car by cutting the springs. Which means my roadworthy counts for nothing.

Only noticed it today when I was under the car doing my swaybar.
