In amongst the debacle with my ECU giving up the ghost at Pumaspeed a couple of weeks ago, I also had a Weitec GTN kit fitted (coilovers up front, semi-adjustable shocks on the back) to replace my rapidly deteriorating Eibach setup.
First impressions were good, the car is now nice and taught once more, you can turn in at least ten mph faster than you could on the Eibachs when they were new, and the nose dips far less when you really step on the middle pedal (V6 mondy setup up front on my car)
Two weeks later I'm still pleased with it, but I've found that it's going to need some tweaking to get it dead right. In fact, I'm going back to PS next year to get the rear shocks replaced with coilovers so I can get the whole car set up just right, then I'll be taking her along for a full corner weighting setup. As it is at the moment, if you floor it out of a corner over anything other than a billiard-table smooth surface you can feel the front tyres skipping across the surface. I'd lower it at the front but ground clearance is limited as it is
Basic conclusions: the GTN kit seems like a good idea, but IMO it's not adjustable enough to be a massively useful improvement over a fixed setup, unless you've got enough time to be dropping the rear beam and shocks out whilst you experiment with the ride heights.
Either get the fixed kit, or save the extra pennies and get coilovers all round. You won't regret going for Weitecs, but the GTN kit is not the canny bargain it seems.
