I've been looking around at getting some new suspension for the project and been hitting a bit of a brick wall when it comes to my budget. My problem is if i want something decent with adjustable damping it costs the earth, but i'm not really wanting to spend more than £500 if i can possibly avoid it. Was about to give up looking when i came across these: Spax PSX kit

Has anyone else had any experience with these or got any better suggestions? Seems like a damn good price for what it is...

There supposed to be very good but not a patch on things like Bilstein. but then again you get what you pay for! I bought a set of PSX rear shocks at fcs for a tenner. they were 4 years old but looked about 10.
