Let's not mention some of the Avon probs then....
Rear produces negative camber when you go over a bump. No triangulation at the back. All front shocks supplied by Tiger are too short and the car
rests on it's bump stop etc. etc. etc.
I'm not anti any car, but for sub 6K and having seen, sat in, helped with and played with various cars, I do still think MK is the better
package at that price.
That's why it's so popular.

Thanks for all the replies guys.
It's good to see people so passionate about they're hobby.
I hope my future questions (and trust me there will be loads) generate such a good response.
Cheers

Why shouldn't we mention the avons problems?? Its by no means perfect as you point out. Nor is the Tiger Cat-E1 etc etc. My point is will
I'm willing to admit that fact many of the other kit owners are willing to recomend their product without giving the full story. You really,
really need to go and have a drive in them all before making up your mind. Oh and if you buy a Tiger don't get their comprehensive kits or
donor packs as they're crap. However, the rest of it is fairly good stuff.....I've yet to see a chassis stronger than my cat's.
(thats not supposed to be a competitve statment either....) go and drive them and decide on the one you like the most. But don't be swayed by
other owners, the company etc as whilst backup during building is important you'll find that ppl will help anyone not just fellow owners and
once its built it yours and you may not have much contact with the factory or other owners - so what ever you do don't look at cost etc as the
decider. Many ppl will only do it once so do it right first time! Oli.
