I too have the 50mm kit.
Actually feels nicer and smoother to drive than standard.

Amazing Kit mate, had it on my GTI with Eibach 50mm springs. It was stiff but it wasn't crashy, was a very subtl kit if you drove sensible and was very firm if you threw it into corners.
Once I got caught out in my GTI not proud to say so had to lift off at high speed and the car stayed planted this setup is amazing.

Exactly how I'd describe it, Stiff but Smooth.

We recommend this as a budget kit. Personally I think the Apex suspension kit for saxo is the best value for money for around £200

VTR and VTS only 25mm lowering. We list them separately to aid clarity.

Spax 40mm spring will lower the VTR / VTS around 30-35mm
Full VSX 40mm lowering kit is £238

Rear shockers are fine at 50mm lowering. We have had no customer issues with these at all so they are well made and reliable.
