Just wondering if anyone has these and if so what are they like? I have H&R's that are now 5 years old with new Eibach front springs, H&R rear springs. On 18's with nurothene bushes throughout, it's a tad 'bouncy shall we say!
Looking for a more compliant ride for street use.
Advice and comments appreciated
Cheers

A few people on here have run KWs, various variants (Wolfgang, anton, ciarnathemurph). The spring rates are nearly double those of the HnRs (400lb front, 350lb rear on the V1s ). The variant 3s have adjustable bump and rebound damping, they're really for track and race use although a decent level of adjustment will help to make things a little less harsh...

Basically, on 18s an S2 coupe will never ride very well as standard and it only goes downhill from there TBH. Fit some 16/17s for road use if you can, that's about the only improvement avaiable other than reverting to OE springs and even then the HnRs really aren't much stiffer, only lower really.

I'm leaving the car in to have my V3s fitted tomorrow. I'll let you know how I find them.

Do you have H&R coil overs? surely they would be adjustable and even maybe rebuildable

Out intrest how close does is the car to the bumpstops H&R lowering springs. Anyone know any cheap coilovers avalible for the typ89q chassis

Thanks guys. I have to run 18's to cover my 6 pot GT3 Carrera Cup Calipers and 362mm AP Racing Discs. Would appreciate feedback once fitted!
