Need to choose what wheels you want to run.
Contact Richard Holzl and see what he can do for you.
He does the best struts. He is located in Sydney
Otherwise contact Jon at Topline in the Us.
His stuff is good value but has short comings.
Yeah. The Empi stuff is cheap.

I used the top line ones, They work fine if you want to fit a wider wheel (I used boxters) and handle quite well without being too firm etc. As bizarre said there are higher quality options but for a fun street car I was happy with them for the price. Put suitable rear torsion bars in at the same time and you'll have a nice package. I think I used 25 or 26mm long bars with KYB silvers. Good budget setup.

I've got Topline Maxx in mine too.
THey were one of the first sets Jon sent to Aus, back then he was using oil inserts, he has since swapped to gas.
Can't beat them for quality and price, the only problem with them is the red springs are better suited to ball point pens.
Fine for Californias perfectly paved freeways but way too soft for anything else.
I fitted some King springs I got through Richard and it was a night and day improvement.
It's an obvious issue and Jon has now stocked the stiffer yellow springs and a Mate has just fitted them to his Super and said its a huge improvement.

Thanks great info there!
yeah i am liking the topline Maxx setup with 80lbs springs., Is there any other brand/setup that compares to this setup?
I tried to contact richard from veeforce but both contact numbers are incorrect.
any one have his number?
Any other people running performance struts? setups?

So im deciding between the topline extreme kit and the v force kit.
what would be the pick out of these 2 setups? aside from cost

V Force any day
The top line use
the circlip mount as opposed to locking screws
no name shocks
soft springs
Look - they are ok. Certainly better than Empi
But not the same
Compare the V Force stuff to CSP if anything
