Supercharged Junkie 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Hi Just got a quote from Stealth Racing for some Koni TA`s with H&R springs for £542.38 inc vat. I thought i saw this package somewhen for around the £350 mark ???? That kinda of price might just get some FK highsports coilovers! Anyone know of anywhere cheaper for konis/H&R ? Cheers Ian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted February 1, 2005 The package you're talking about does not come with H&R springs, they are Vogtland springs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben16v 0 Posted February 1, 2005 around the £540 mark, that`s the correct price i`m afraid?! (they`re v.good though!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ford 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Hhhhm I have eibachs with my koni t/a's very tempted to upgrade and get some H&R's the ride is bit to harsh with current springs, there are speed bumps everywhere here! Supposed to be a softer ride aren't they? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hub 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Just had the car back from a service and confirmed my 2 rear shocks have gone, so i am looking to upgrade the supension in some way. As money is a little tight would it be advisable to buy the Koni TA`s with Vogtland springs and then upgrade to the H&R's at a later date when i can afford it?

BigTartanJudge 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Hi, I got several quotes for Koni TA's and H & R springs and the cheapest I could find was £420 inc. VAT / delivery. Let me know if interested and I will dig out the details, Cheers, BigEastSideVWG60 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hub 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Any chance of a[schild=1 fontcolor=000000 shadowcolor=C0C0C0 shieldshadow=1]Group Buy[/schild] to get the price down a little more?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Maybe, But would advise you not to talk about or suggest it in this thread in case people get upset :? Cheers, BigEastSideVWG60 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hub 0 Posted February 1, 2005 :lol: :lol: :lol: I know what you are on about, but surely we are still on topic as the thread is titled Koni TA`s & H&R Springs? :wink: Check it out anyway and let us know asap :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged Junkie 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Well can only really afford around £300mark really at mo, gotta get the rear trailing arms bushes replaced aswell, plus a new front engine mount...the list goes on.... So anyone tried using the H&R springs with boge turbo gas shocks from GSF ? Had boge shocks with GSF own lowered springs(I think?) on my old scirocco and i quite liked that setup...bit too harsh for a Corrado i think thou Any ideas? Thanks Ian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ford 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Also what is the ride like on H&R springs say in comparison to o/e set up. I am trying to compare to the eibachs I currently have which are a little harsh for my area, if I lived on a Grand prix track it would be fine! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 3, 2005 The H&Rs barely ride any different to stock imo but it depends on what shocks you use, wheel and tyre size etc etc. When I was still on the speedlines, I couldn't believe how much better the ride quality was than standard, even though the Koni/H&R combo is a lot firmer. The car feels a lot less jittery over bumps and body control on fast B roads is vastly improved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ford 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Brilliant thanks Kev, better start saving then, got the koni's (on speedies) just got to get me some H&Rs. I might try and increase the damping in the meantime just to improve the ride a little. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 3, 2005 Yeah you could try increasing the damping resistance which will remove any springiness but may not help with crashiness. The Eibachs are a bit too hard for my liking but they're not bad though, just not aswell matched to the Konis as the H&Rs are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
