Demon Tweeks. I used the 'contact us' option on the website and they were happy to do a deal.

Update:

I chose KW V3 for the reason I'd originally excluded them - the separate bump and rebound adjustment.

I get the argument that it's overkill for a road car, but the ability to set the rebound (which is what I hated about OEM) with the option to keep them a little softer for compliance on crappy B road surfaces, made a lot of sense to me.

I now need tissues 'cos these things are too goddamn sexy!

Ger, when I was looking to buy new the best price I could find was here:
http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pag...sub_category=1

However, I would have a word with Daytona Dave as he has some kind of connection with KW / possibly an authorised dealer although I could be wrong.

I got my suspension from these guys. Not sure how the prices compare but delivery was 3 days too. I saved about £300 over Europerformance. Seems like they do KW too...
