Mine certainly arent copies, all genuine kit in the box. Havent yet fitted them as im stock piling a load of stuff to do at the same time!
I may have to put the remap off another week so I can make the most of this deal!

Well mine were fitted and first impressions are reasonably positive. I'd say they are more comfortable than my old Weitecs. Handling I can't say just yet as my Weitecs were set to custom settings by Alex at AKS, but these are set to stock. Will weigh in when it goes back to Alex and gets set up properly again

What made you go from weitec to these? I'm torn between these and ap as the ap are supposed to be good value and quite comfortable for a coilover. But Iknow the bilstein won't be rusty as owt after a year!

It was a change out of necessity. After 5 years my rear dampers had failed and one of my front springs had snapped. It was less hassle to get a whole new kit.
