Default PoLL! On which suspension!!

Looking to order some suspension this week but am stuck on a couple of choices. I am low budget and have a 2000 b5 a4 1.8t 5speed front track on cutt springs( was bored and too many beverages with my friends, so we decided to cutt it. it was great for 1 week until all the shocks blew and now its super bouncy.)

I narrowed it down to Vmaxx for $550 plus shipping from strastospheare or fk highsport non stainless from ecstuning for $787 free shipping. only problem is that the fk is on backorder!!!

here are the links.

thanks!!

I'd personally go with FK if I were you.

I have nothing against V-Maxx but I've heard crazier stuff about FK.

I would accept no damping other than Koni, personally.

yea i was searching on the internet on reviews of these and it seems like a lot of the honda guys are running them and are liking it. I cant find anything of a review on my b5 though. as flynn was saying i might as well go vmax and use the money saved towards his turbo.
