I'm about to take my red9 kit off and kickit in to touch :( it looked good but drove like a pig( my opinion). The wife also had a accident b4 xmas where a transit reversed into the front causing £4k damage(main dealer prices) at 10mph! imagine what would happen at 30! hence going back to just below stock. :?
So after all that could have a red9 kit for sale.

Sorry to hear about the accident :( ,
When you say "drove like a pig" do you mean? to choppy? not enough suspension? not enough dampening?.......... did you fit the kit?...... are you running a complete kit? ie you have taken your stock springs out and replaced them with the tie bars.Have you tried adjusting the dampening to your tastes? I ask this as my red9 rides very well far better than being lowered on adjustors. Fair enough its not same ride as a stock beam at stock height but if you want lower than dropped spindles can give its the best ride of the rest(imho)
 
The kit was with the van when i purchased it,i got a front beam from volksheaven to replace the one that was on it, because the other was rusted thru. It was a complete kit with the smaller of the two coil overs that red nine do.The ride was very stiff and it was difficult for the wife to turn the wheel at slow speeds. After buying some new wheels for it, they started rubbing the body and after the accident the decision was made to take it back to stock or there abouts
