Thanks to The Monk

Good job on my pedders suspenders and bush pack Roger. You also did a good job of lightening my credit allowance too 
purely fyi I've upped the both front and rear another 2 notches (front: 17/30, rear: 20/30), I'll let you know if the ride height settles.
I reckon they could do with some rebound damping adjustment on the shocks to go with the compression damping (get it on all modern bikes, so why not the cars I ask!), but overall its made a huge difference and now a good ride with a more direct feel too!
Now go get those Wortec or Monkfish sill plates sorted and bob's you're aunties live in lover....
btw, hopefully Tim will buy my shocks/springs. He'll probably pay me direct and then get you to fit/align ok, so keep 'em safe and I'll confirm once sorted (cheers Tim)!

Cheers Gary 
i've sent an email in the general direction of Monkfish and i will send you ur beer vouchers asap mate 
Roger is probably still in shock Gary as i also asked him if he could give me a price on fitting my sourced walkinshaw zorst too
Hope the weather picks up for you and that will make for a good coil over setting up experience

Yeah was good to catch-up Jez and good to hear Roger stopped making the tea long enough to exercise his grey matter and get it resolved!
Fingers crossed for getting the car on the road in May btw, the firebird looked gorgeous, hope you get to fettle the old girl sometime soon!

Hey Mel, yep, very pleased with the result!
Highly recommended mod combination that turns a slightly (well, ok fairly!) wallowy and vague driving experience into a much more taught and direct feel.
Rog the monk and his team done good...
all in all not a bad price either considering a single decent Ohlins TTX rear shock for my '08 ZX-10R would have set me back ~£800 before fitting!

What you having done? coilvers and road response or other things??
Hopefully you'll be happy with the result regardless!
Got the chance to have a little bit of fun in mine today through the country roads with an Audi TT. No longer is the car trying to bury me in the hedge!!
as an aside, the TT tried to follow me when I overtook 2 artics along a short straight...guess he assumed because my barge was going for it he'd have the acceleration to make it too...silly sod would have had a head on if the poor car coming the opposite way didnt stop...not smart.
