Ditto to what the others have said is that you can definitely feel a bit improvement in normal driving, just going round a roundabout at normal speeds you will feel it, you don't have to drive like a maniac.
I couldn't really understand what Wozza could possibly mean when I heard him say before that the ARBs where his best mod, even though he has a charger ! After all, how could they be that good. Until I got them, and now I understand ! :biggrin:
It depends on exchange rate fluctuations. You can't get the TTE ones new any more. Check the price of Hotchkis ones (via eBay) from the US, and also ones from Japan. Add on a bit of duty/VAT though (you're very unlikely to avoid that given how big and obvious they are as a package). To be honest, I don't think it matters too much about the make, any of them will be a big upgrade. Check to see if the kit includes new bushes though, because you'll want some to get the most out of it.
Also, you might have problems with getting the existing drop-links undone, which at the worst case could mean you getting new ones of those. They're much cheaper from motor factors/eBay though, as opposed to the OEM parts.
