spax are a UK company thats what sits well with me, i doubt the coilovers are made in the UK if i thought they were like u i would be worried ! If there is any problem dealing with a UK company is going to be better thats all i meant. I know nothing about coilovers, no experience I agree with the german comments when it comes to manufacturing, quality etc

Price is a big issue for me, I want to spend no more than £600. I am aware you get what you pay for which is a ****ter really Problem is i can't justify to myself spending more than that when the car is worth a few grand at the very most. hence my post http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2029 which doesn't seem to have caught on yet which is a shame if it did i could go to say £800- £900
