pud 0 Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Hi,I have just bought a R(97) Mk3 VR6 a couple of days ago. I am loving the car, but the suspension is feeling a bit tired. The ride is fairly stiff over bumps but it has a fair omount of roll and bounce! One of the previous owners has lowered it (i think only on springs), and the owner before me had a set of 17s on it. Would this have hammered the Shock absorbers? There is a fair bit of squeaking from the rear suspension when I go over big bumps!Does anyone have any reccomendations about what suspension I should fit for a low (but not slammed) and firm (but not solid) ride!Cheers pud.

binliner 0 Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Id recommend either... FK koni or FK highsport coilovers (the former are height and damping adjustable, the latter just height adjustable or... Koni (damping adjustable) shocks with eibach springsall these options will improve handling and give a firm but far from bone shaking ride Link to post Share on other sites

acf8181 0 Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 my current fav is bilstein sprintline. you could get a set of those, and some eibach uprated anti roll bars for that money, just. Link to post Share on other sites
madmonkee 0 Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 k+w's boneshaking is all to do with the powerflez bushes. Best thing is you cn slam it 75mm after my arches have been rolled we are sweeping the floor Link to post Share on other sites
