    DIY coilover kit for B4Q

    Searched the forum and found nothing.
    Idea is to make the kit based on adjustable Koni Sports. Everything else is still quite open. Options include parts from Ground Control or something from here. Has someone done something like this or even thought about it? What springrate and lenght to use etc. I read on Motorgeek that there might be a problem with the rears...?

    I really care not to pay unjustified amounts of money to HR or KW.

      Got some useful info, thnx Pastures16.
      Also the springrate around 300lb rear and 250lb front has been suggested. What about the springlenght? Something around 7"? What kind of a maximum drop can be expected? That on the earlier- given link is not much imo.

                This is the rearspring of my car... Cant figure out, if its doable, cause someone @ motorgeek mentioned it to be impossible?
