Coilovers/Lowering Springs+Shocks.

[ross b]

Just wondered what setup people were using, as its next on my list of things to do.
Always had coilovers on hot hatches in my youth, keeping with KW variant 1's wasnt blown away by them for the price must admit. Is there a happy medium of ride quality, handling and price? Or do performance springs and shocks do a good enough job. I dont intend to raise and lower my car on a regular basis. all advice welcome cheers ross

IME the KW V1s are the best option for a fast road coupe. I've tried a few set-ups and the ride / handling compromise is spot on with bonus of adjustable ride height.

I agree^^^^ I have kw v2 and they're really nice. V2 areno longer available so inox v1 would be my choice.

Same here used to have a very old set of koni shocks and H&R springs and the road holding was ok and alot of people seem to be quite happy with that setup, but after swapping them for the KW v1's I would definitely stick with the KW's!

My KW. v1's are superb.

I've been thinking about coil-overs recently, although my koni/stick spring setup is the best compromise i've found for road-use, it just doesn't cope well with the extreme acceleration/braking that the car is now capable of and bottoms out (scrubbing the arches) far to easily. I've tried every different setup i can think of, besides coil-overs, which may well be the answer.
