    Looking for a new suspension

    My S2 has stock suspension and I want a new one. I don't want to spend more than 1300€ including engineer project (if needed) to make it road legal in Spain.

    I was looking for H&R, KW or Königsport coilovers because I want adjustable height at least. Can anyone give me feedback on these kits? I use the car everyday but I want stiffer suspension for trackdays.

    I also want to install Whiteline RARB in order to improve balance and I'll probably buy 18" BBS CH rims in the future.

    Any more suggestions?

    My car came with a set of KW coilovers which are easily adjustable. The ride is quite ok even with the low profile tires I use. Very smooth on the road even at high speeds.

    Can't tell you the variant I have cause I've no idea

      As above I agree KW are very good with also a nice ride I have v2 but they are not available anymore. V1 with only height adjust will be fine for you I think.

              Another vote for KWs, the handling / ride compromise is spot on

                      Thanks, but I've seen your KW thread and I think I can get a better price (because of the exchange from pounds to euros). Anyway I'll get in touch with you if I can't get a cheaper one.
