Suspension Time!

[ardandy 0]

OK, after a traffic cop says your cars too high you know its time to lower it!

 

I'm after a 30-40mm drop but don't want to go any lower as its a daily driver and as I work in a lot of schools I go over many speed bumps.

 

I've poured through the various suspension threads for the past hour and still a bit unsure on things.

 

Looking at these for now, http://www.venommotorsport.com/shop/Sus ... index.html

 

I have a few ques of which I cant find a definative answer to.

 

1, Other than cost, whats the difference between the H&R/Koni set up (as an example) and coilovers? Is it just adjustability or are they better all round?

 

2, Whats the best place to buy the H&R/Koni set up? Not entirely sure on which parts I need.

 

3, Would I need anything else on the car when replacing mine? Shocker tops, bushes etc.

 

4, The Konigsport coilovers are £522, the Koni RHA Coilover Kit is £622, whats the difference?

 

5, How many hours would a garage charge for fitting all these?

 

6, Will I have to pay for camber adjustment after fitting?

1. Adjustability. Some shock/spring kits aren't low enough for some people. AFAIK 'cheaper' coilovers wont match the quality of (for example) koni/h&r.

 

2. http://www.larkspeed.co.uk is suppsed to be good. I got mine straight from Stealth but it was a seasonal no VAT discount.

 

3. Front topmounts & rear bumpstops.
