This does seem a good price... My dampers are well past their best... Thats gotta be circa 400 quid for Bilstein or Koni... Seems not much extra for the adjustable V2 kit. Tempted.... Dear Santa
Good point re costs. Go on do it and then everyone on this Island can experience same first hand from the passenger seat :mischeif: at the next big Irish S2 meet in 2009?
Mmmm I am tempted... but I have a recollection that someone (mcandmar ?) has some prior with K&W on this island and reckoned they might be too stiff for the bumpy back roads. I essentially want a tarmac rally car setup that can handle the bumps and yumps - not a touring car setup which needs pristine flat surfaces.
V2 is only adjustable in Rebound (Koni), the Springrate on the V1 and V2 is only 70N/mm, wich is not much for these Cars. A better option would be a 90N/mm Springrate in Front...
And don't forget when ordering these that the 'B4' type is for S2 Avant or S2 Saloon...
Whilst their '89Q' type is for S2 Coupe - which is strictly speaking a 'B3' but I'll let them off.
Looks like good stuff and I forgot they went to all the pains to get German TUV approval on these - the official docs are on the KW website - in German. Pity about the yellow and purple color combo... I can't justify it to myself - maybe next year...

How does that 70N/mm compare with factory S2 springs - do you have that info ?
I'd like to know it for H&R springs too of course - danger of going off topic here......
OEM Front Springs should be arround 25-30N/mm
The Springrates @Motorgeek are made for the KW Competition Kit, i was testing these Kit 6 Years ago, and these are the Results.
Rates, depense on the use, between 90N/mm and 180N/mm are common.
i know when i bought mine i had the option of selecting my own spring rates, no extra cost but decided that KW prob knew better than me lol. at the end of the day new springs only cost £20 so changing them at a later date isnt the end of the world....i'll be beefing up my front springs, they have 2 options for the S2, one with air-con one without...i opted for the without ones but regret that now as i feel the front is too soft.....(i have no turbo aswell!!!, 7A)

I'm still confused by what they need in return? I'm looking to change out my tired old koni shocks and h&r springs and get coilovers. These prices are a lot cheaper than I've been seeing online, but I've also realised that we're in December now...

They don't need anything and the prices are cheap because this thread is from 2008!
