mark@vagworx 0 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 PeteIf you're not after coilovers, then Koni top adjustable shocks and Eibach springs are your best bet i reckon. Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 the bilstein sprintline kit i've got gives superb handling, a significant increase in road holding, and costs a fair bit less than the koni/eibach set up.however, its not rebound adjustable like the koni's, and you do loose a fair bit of ride quality...though my poly bushes could be partly responsible for this.

tandino 1 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 There is a Koni/Eibach kit for sale on the classifieds now!No its not my kit for sale either Link to post Share on other sites
dub_weiser 0 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Got a 60mm apex kit on my other MKIII 1.6 and its got great handling and not bad ride either. Comes in at a good price too Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 bilsteins are harsh. koni sport dampers and h@r springs are the best Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 are h&r springs softer than eibachs? i find my eibachs a bit harsh, also do they give a similar ride height? Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Think the difference is in the dampers really. Have you got bilsteins/eibachs? Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 I can't rate the FK konigsport kit I have fitted on mine highly enough Pete and from what I have heard all there kits are very good quality just vary in adjustment and price. Link to post Share on other sites
