Solid reputation.

Thanks PaulyJ, I emailed them today just to see what they were charging and the Variant 2 (for a VecB) was a good $300 less than the quote I got last year for the equivalent Koni package! If you wanted galvanized parts (as opposed to stainless steel) take another $300 off! Not that I have any cash at the moment to spend on such things! Apparently a VecB in Sydney has been done recently with the variant 2 kit! Cant find though if they are rebuildable, cant just assume such things!

Aussie In London did you put this suspension on after you bought the car? if so how would you compare the before and after ride!

my standard suspension was the Lotus developed passive set up, very good as far as a standard set up goes and did handled well, fitted the KW varient 3's some 6 months after picking up the car, no comparision with the standard set up, feels like a totally different handling car, i dropped mine 30mm, body roll is almost non existent, ride is slightly harsher but being adjustables i can adjust that to my likings, presently set up for a fast road but was easy to change for for track when i took the VXR out just recently, in all honesty leaps and bounds ahead of the standard set up.

Ask for Weitec, same as KW just not SS and cheaper.
