yeah but they are still inserts are they not on the front. and what the backs are what your on about...

I can contact the fella at europrice here in the States and see if he is interested in a doing a GB of S2/RS2 avant and coupe coils made by Hyperco. The same company that does the Stasis coils.

Would need OEM samples thought to get 'em testers

Eh? if the spring perch is on the shock and koni shock is shortened travel what do you get?

Less ride height

anyhow pics have proved it, Koni shocks on the rear vs oem gives a ride height difference, unlike the bilstein where they work in reverse so you can move the perch by making a new groove your stuck.

have to see what oem looks like

Anyhow my thread has gone off topic, if you have anymore avant photos with h&r please post them

[pixsaudisex2]

but the fronts are inserts,,,
thats what i was saying you on about the rear ,,, yeah or no..

just wondring like lol...
makes me almost want to get me shocks out to look at lol..

Just read the bit about posts going of topic... just wouldnt want you to spend any money on something you wouldnt need to..

A shock absorber wont alter the ride height, BUT the lower spring perch is part of the shock on these cars. So if the lower perch is a few MM lower than a stock shock it will translate to a lower ride height.

Not on the rear of an avant it isn't...

Its been a while since i looked at the rear setup, but I was sure the shock on the back of mine had no perch, it bolts to the turret and the wishbone and the bottom of the turret is the spring sits? Just like the front of a Land Rover

Am I remembering incorrectly?

Is this enough proof?

Ok enough about the shocks, as my thread is going off in a direction i'm not interested in

[RustyNut]

what's the difference between the H&R spring colours? After an enquiry today the yellows PN:29 909 are for street and occasional track use and offer a 30mm drop. In the pics where the rear sits low, what colour springs are they and what spec are they?
Cheers (just trying to bring this thread back to life)

[RustyNut]

be interesting to know what spec the springs are on the Avant in this thread as the car seems to be sitting at the stock height? http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47014

sorry.. didn't read the above link properly before I posted it but there are some shots of the car once the upgrades were fitted so it's still relevant to the thread.
