    according to their website we are excluded from vat
    and technically the isle of man is not a member of the eu :)
    but that price drop of nearly £100 is good new for me

    HSD HR are really good coilovers. I bought them before the price came down and I still think they are worth the money.

    There is a cheaper version available, the HSD TT still good but don't have quite so much adjustment on them.

    Best thing IMO, is to add as much lightness as you can!!! Get rid of everything you can and then help the engine breathe with a free flow air filter and a decent exhaust. Kinda depends on your budget as to how far you go with the engine though. Lightness is the cheapest way to improve things cause its just taking stuff off that you no longer need...
