£550 - damn that's cheap ! - only £50 more than the Koenigsport's on the Edition 38 group buy,or about the same as the Silverlines (not incl postage tho)- very tempting ! sent off emails asking for quotes for the H&R's from the 2 x places you recommended above - will let u know how i get on. thanks for your help guys :) -

the wear factors what i'm worried about as i'm looking to keep the Corrado for as long as possible & don't want to have to replace the suspension @ all really - i know what your saying about not wanting to splash the cash too much - i suppose it's all about finding a balance really. think i got it down to one of two choices now,either FK Koingsports (poss the Silverlines) or the basic H&R coilovers. any ideas where the cheapest place is to buy the H&R's ? -

cheers for the replies..i'm kinda heading towards the Koingsports - what's the difference between the Silverline ones & standard - i assume it's just that there stainless steel ? also does this mean they will wear better (ie won't corrode) or just the 'bling' factor ? Kev - i always thought (not much experience in this field mind:)) that Koni coilovers were considered among the hardest out there - i suppose FK have tweeked the dampers to there own spec so there not so harsh ? appologies for the endless questions :wink: -

yeah i'm with you totally on that - the 35/40mm drop you get with Eibach or H&R springs for example don't seem quite enough. what suspension setup you using @ the moment ? -

yeah i heard about that - i sold my Vento VR6 yesterday to one of the Gwent VW Audi Centre boys & he recommended these - he's got them on a MK4 TDI...the price definitely interests me,but i'm not 100 % about the quality of them as say compared to the H&R's or Bilsteins (talking long term wear) -

AmbisoniK replied to AmbisoniK's topic in Drivetrain
cheers for the reply :) that's pretty much what i thought - they seem to be very highly rated,but it seems most people tend to go for the Koni Top Adjustables with Eibach or H&R springs or FK coilovers. out of interest how low did you drop them ? -
Hi all, i've just recently bought myself a Corrado VR6 & am looking for the best suspension package for around £700 or under. i realise that bushes/topmounts etc will need to be replaced on top of that + i'll have to get the geometry/camber etc sorted. my shortlist is : - H&R coilovers Bilstein PSS coilovers FK Koenigsport coilovers Bilstein Dampers/Eibach or H&R springs i've got a set of BBS RS301's 17"x7.5" to put on @ a later date as there in need of refurbing. anyone got any experience of any of these setups ? - also is it really worth taking the coilover route ? i'd like to drop the car as low as possible without compromising on handling. any help much appreciated as i can't really seem to find much info about the H&R/Bilstein coilover setups in particular. cheers :wink:
