im don't know, they may fit, but whats the brand like? are they as good as avo or gaz?
i really fancy a set but will probably not bother at the £500 odd for avo or gaz. if you do buy them and they do fit and work fine can you let me know. to be honest they look a little cheap,

They look very similar to the ones I have in my garage waiting to be fitted! After giving them a good look over they look like they will fit no problem and as I only paid £170 a massive savings over ZS specific coilovers!

Cool

They should physically fit but u need to know the spring rates?

Not sure I would trust my car with cheap suspension, considering Vulcan can get a set of gaz ones for £500ish

If you are looking for performance option then buy cheap u get cheap, if you just want to drop the car for looks then I suppose the are worth a punt but there is a reason gaz,avo's ohlins etc cost more.

At the end of the day I'm basically driving a sub 1k old banger it would just be daft to spend 500 quid on suspension! Mine have a 3 year warranty and are TUV approved so can't be all that bad and definitely better than my knackered standard shocks!

They fit fine guys, I have them on my TD. The only thing you need to do is find a slightly thinner nut and bolt to do through the forks on the rear shocks as the bolts supplied are too fat to fit through the ZS suspension arm. Oh, and you need to use the supplied washers in the same place to space it out.

Ive had mine on since October last year and had no probs.

Any pics? What's the weight of Td engine? Springs suit v6? How much abuse have you given them and do they hold up ok?
