They are about -35mm IIRC. I had them and the ride quality and stance was spot on. . .  :happy2:

I don't know what to do now. I WAS looking at getting FK Silverlines, but now for much less, everyone suggests springs... I don't mean to hijack, but what do people think?

I have springs on mine but its not low enough so bought some KWs. I like to think suspension isnt something to scrimp on so buy the best you can!
