When i was foning round for prices and oppinions etc., the general consensus was that there a little bit overkill on a caddy and not worth the extra, i ended up going with the st kit by kw, and so far there bang on, ride quality and handling are excellant, and the saving in money over the billys is just under half

Iv just had my st kit arrive so It’s not on yet but I did the same, on the phone to dark side he said that although the Billy’s are the best and you get what you pay for there has been no complaints about the st kit so if budget don’t allow then don’t worry about going for the st.

Just picked the van up from the garage and the st darkside kit feels tight as a drum.. ImageImagehe said it’s got more lows in it if needed, recommended getting my splitter fitted and seeing how it looks. Happy so far Image

If you buy the kw/st kit you dont need the darkside kit, the darkside kit is just for the rear, the st kit does front and rear i had the st kit fitted by darkside after doing some research and listening to darksides advice, cant recomend the kit enuf, and darkside for that matter

Hear hear. Iv no doubt billi is better overall but from the website and phone conversations it’s almost double the price when you add the vat and pay the extra £25 for a c spanner that’s included in the st kit but also it don’t go as low as the st kit.
