Hahaha! Excellent. Please report your thoughts on here. I've been told to expect my full Coilover kit to be available in September or October. I've been waiting for availability since late 2020, so I better be happy!!!
Every single person I have to spoken to who know of this product, their work and gear, those who have them installed, those who know folks who have them installed or those who work in the industry ........ ALL say the same thing to me .......... "It WILL be worth the wait" ......... seriously, to a person; Every farker I have spoken to have all said exactly the same thing .....word for word...
That's gota speak volumes I rek'n ............. word of mouth is still King!
I shall soon find out I rek'n ..........
For sure, I had done all the research before I recommended you looking at Shockworks back on page 2. I first contacted them 2 years ago and still have only heard positive things since. They've just taken a long time with this VT-VZ kit. You may be one of the original run of 5 with the full production kit actually.Quote:

Good lord does the O'l girl eat corners now ........... I'm very impressed and very happy. The ride is quite a bit stiffer - but that was the mandate - performance over comfort (and extenuates all the little rattles an 18 year old car makes) but good lord does she respond to the twisties now.
It's gunna take me a bit to get my confidence up to push her a little harder but I am VERY happy with the result (glad I put some new Michelin PS4's on her before the shocks went on).
Chris is an absolute pissa of a bloke and delivered everything he said he would (and I must say the cost was pretty bloody decent too ..... couldn't have had any of the other 'performance' products installed for the price it cost me for the Shockworx product) - Money very well spent!!!
Red - you'll love e'm mate and fully adjustable if you feel like a tinker.
As the weather dries out I'm sure I'll start pushing a little harder and get a better feel for what she can do now.
The only regret I have is that the new handling capabilities has highlighted the need for me to do something with my 3800 Cirlce D stall converter in my A4 ... it's great for quick starts and straight line stuff but not so flash for twisting roads. I think it needs to come out ..... Oh well, there is always something.
Sounds awesome, mate. Thanks for taking the time to write a review. I've requested a more comfort based setup from Shockworks for my car. I'm basically looking to mimic the setup I previously had with Tein Coilovers. I need to replace my tyres too, I have Michelin PS4 (not S, not available on my size) but I don't like them. I am looking at Bridgestone Potenza Sport this time.
Just got back from taking my eldest girl to work and GOD damn I love driving my wags (peeing with rain and roads are wet as buggery). Every day I drive it with these new shocks, I get a little bit more confident in what it can do. I've always enjoyed driving in the rain (as it adds that little bit of extra excitement) and I was little more 'aggressive' than usual ........... and damn, Shite to a blanket .........
Loving these new shocks, new tires and the way it rides ......... it just feels SOLID and predictable. I feel like these shocks have brought what was already a good package into a GREAT package ... VERY HAPPY
