Springs and dampers mate, Koni use H&R lowering springs with there dampers. Also the blue and anodised orange go well together  :P
I'll be fitting them with TT Uprated top mounts and some superpro bushes to firm things up abit

Apparently they come with 40mm H&R springs but I recon they'll turn up with the common 30mm ones  :grin:
I like the stance of the 30mm so the 40's will be perfect if they are actually 40mm springs  :happy2:

Can't wait to get them fitted
