Everybody perceives suspension mods differently, so it's a question only you can answer fully.

 

Koni and FK kits are reputed to be very good. I don't think the budget ones come close to be honest and avoid AVO, many people have problems with them.

I've heard so-so things about the FK's ... but the Bilstein + H&R combo is always good. I'm probably getting a Sachs coilover set soon, I'll see how that goes. Price is too good to refuse. With suspension you always have to pay $$$ for quality but you can pay $$$ and not get quality. But not the other way around

 

As far as the question of whether or not they are "good", well it always depends what you plan on doing with your car.

I've never heard a bad word said about Fk's, and I can certainly vouch for there quality - top notch :D

 

You could probably get a similar ride type using koni adjustables with H&R springs - but then you wouldn't be able to set the height to your needs. Not much difference price wise as you can get the FK's for around £500.

I've got koni's on my G60 very pleased with the coilovers no harshness & the handling is much improved.

I've got supersport coilovers on my G60 and I'd reccomend them whole heartedly... and I often do here! :roll: :lol:

 

They're about £400 from Venom and the ride quality is very good...

 

I bought mine so that I could firstly dump the suspension that was on the car when I first got it that was nasty, and secondly so I could get it corner weighted and get the handling absolutely spot on... It worked on both counts! :D 8)

I've invested in FK coilovers fully adjustable - nice kit, easy install and very good quality. FK do a cheaper kit around £450-500 that lowers by 30-40mm and has damp adjustment only - Try Gwent VW - they had them on special a few weeks back. T/A Koni's & H&R's are also a good option

I have opted for a set of fully adjustable Leda suspension kit.

 

You can adjust all attributes - bump/rebound/height

 

These are excellent quality motorsport kits but retail at near £1000

 

I would alos like to here a review/opinion about bilsteins good kit ps9 i think - it looks the biz.
