RSwagoneer Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Hi there, For what i've been told from some german Estate drivers the following setup works great on an estate. Koni top adjustable ( yellow ) at front and the red koni's at the rear. Kombined with some springs from Eibach or H&R this would be top dog.Biltstein should also have a set for the Estate. And I thought a german shop called Gossow Fahrwerkstechnik has some more Estate suspension kits.I'm still having the original shocks , but with a set FINTEC springs (40/25mm drop) Greetz Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chris.k Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Tried the restyled arm but did not work very well and may upset geometry so we are going to heighten the turrets where the shock bolts into on the rear and put an adjuster in there. Lee did you get any bottoming out on the front and what drop springs are you on ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
