Thoughts on this lowering kit...

Post by chuckle-bus-tom »

I am venturing into the world of a subtle lowering job, and putting out the feelers on the different kits. My research has given me lots of reviews of lots of kits, however, at the risk of sounding slightly cheapskate, I can't really afford a lovely AVO kit or similar. So, I have done the dreaded eBay search and I've found a Cupline Suspension Kit that will drop me 35mm, which is about the ride I'm after as I'm keeping Westwood away and staying as OG as possible. I just can't find anything but sales spin for these fellows. I know that you get what you pay for, and £220 is about my budget, but does anyone have any experiences with these and are they worth a fifth of my monthly salary?

here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=012

Many thanks.
Tom

Just buy some -30mm springs from a Caravelle/Bluestar etc...hell of a lot cheaper than £220 if you only want a 30-35mm drop.
There's no need to change your shocks when lowering this amount....unless your shocks are shot that is?
Even then a set of new shocks are only about 70 quid.

That kit looks like a Jamex or a G-max kit.
I don't sell them anymore.
Read into that what you will.
