stuball Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Just springs on old shocks turns very bouncy very quickly IMO. Best to save for a kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob84 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Get dampers too dean-o, coz u will need up-rated ones if u wanna lower ur car any more then 40mm at a later date Then all u'll need is the new springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tythman Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 anyone recommend a particular brand of suspension kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Have only springs (Eibach -30mm) on my car so can't give you personal opinion on a kit... I think Koni adjustables are rated highly, JonC is the only guy who had them as far as I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
