    S2 Coupe ABY which springs can I mount?

    Hello friend, I want mount under my S2 Coupe ABY a complete set of Koni adjustable shock absorbers and lowered spring, I want H&R springs if possible, I have already this setup under my RS2 and I'm very happy, but I have not find a kit of H&R springs for S2 Coupe
    Where can I find H&R springs for my S2 Coupe?
    Thanks a lot!

    For the S2 ABY Coupe, you need the Blue H+R springs: 29939 HA and 29939 VA

    Some setups just use the fronts (29939VA) springs on the rear too.

    If you are buying new they might have to be made by H+R, otherwise look to spend £200-250 for s/h

          A good price!

          If you can't get RE2500's then I'd suggest getting 2 pairs of fronts to help with rideheight and also handling.

            Why mount front springs also on the rear, Rusty?
            Thanks a lot!

              Hello friends, now it's time to change suspension. I don't know what is better for daily use and trackday. I can choose between H&R coilover kit or Koni Sport adjustable shock absorbers and H&R springs.
              What would you suggest?
              Thanks a lot!

                      Koni is for street, H&R Bilstein for more track fast road focus.

                      I found Bilsteins too hard on a Coupe even with OEM springs the ride was not as nice as 4wheeldrifters Coupe with H&R and Koni shocks.

                        Hello Jamo, thanks a lot!
                        What do you think about H&R Cup Kit? Is too hard for every day use?
                        Thanks a lot!

                          For everyday? For me it was yes but it's subjective to what you want. No doubting they are the best handling kit for the S2 outside of coilovers.

                          I'd always choose H&R / Koni combo over the bilstein route if my car was going to be daily driven.

                            I've the H&R cup kit
                            I drive my 2years old son every day to school and no pb
                            Roads here are good also ...
                            Yes it's quite stiff but I've always driven car like that and S2 is heavy ...
                            S2 with OEM was balancing too much like a boat, I didn't feel safe

                              Hehe Key words from you, roads are good, on a flat surface cup kit was superb but in the U.K the roads are far from good and they weren't nice on rough roads
