    not on a punto but many of my good friends have had them on vws they were good for what they wanted them for lowering the car shi t loads, but all of their cars were all show no go, the only car i have driven with any go with these onm was a 2.0ltr abf engined mk2 golf scared the shite out of mem it was too bumpy sending the car all over the place they are designed for low powered cars to look goodm that is all they really do perform like crapm spend decent money on spax/d2 etc they really are 10x better and i have had both of the latter.

    I've got a set of these on my GT, they do the job perfectly for me, not the easiest to adjust i will admit, and this 'magic spray to protect the threads' didn't come with mine. Don't be so quick to shoot thing's down, if your on a budget and can't afford £800 D2's then these are the one's! They lower very low on the front, although I didn't rate the rear suspension at all, wasn't anywhere near low enough for me, so I stuck my 60mm springs on the back.

    Adjustable suspension. So how high can you rise your car with them?
    I have Bilsteini suspension at the moment. Estonian roads aren't famous with their good condition and my car is too low for them. Also winter is coming and we have a lot's of snow here so i want to rise my car up again.
    Was thinking about OEM suspension for the winter.
    What about these?
