Or if you have a few extra quid go for the Koni springs... Better grade of steel and slightly more forgiving on a bumpy road. Well IMO from riding on both.

On Euro Performance i think the Koni's are on offer for the same(ish) price as the spax, so its up to the ride quality really. I know Koni have a better reputation than Spax, but i dunno :-)
