Is that suspension a proper coilover setup or are they Koni yellow dampers with coilover sleeves on?

Koni yellows and ground control sleeves, rated very highly over in america but to me even tho there better matched to cars as you pick which shocks your using there still sleeves, springs are made by eibach tho ;)

Cheers mate, so yeah, they might be ok in America with their glass-flat roads, or on a track perhaps.

but I've had a bad experience with coilover sleeves here in the UK..

GLWTS though, @insanodano!

They're Koni Yellows with Skunk2 sleeves. Personally i think it's a better match up than the GC ones. The ride is quite hard but that's to be expected with how low I put it.

I don't think the hardness has anything to do with the ride height as the spring moves up and down on the sleeve, without changing its compression. I think the hardness of the ride is down to the stiffness of the Skunk2 springs.
The Koni's are a good damper though and should eliminate most of the chronic 'bounce' that comes with using those sleeves..

Sorry mate, didn't see you hiding up there. I've got the interior on eBay at the moment (Starting at £180) so I don't really want to remove it. But if I end up splitting it all up then you can have it. Sorry boss.
