Wanting to get hold of some new front dampers if anyone has any for sale let me know?
But want to know what are some decent suspension? More to the softer of the range? as there comfier and better handling on road the stiff ones that jump all over the place.
I have a set of KONI coilovers that just need springs but not sure how uncomfortable they are? what are peoples opinions on these questions? :thumb:

youd need to check out your bound rates and spring rates tbh i had koni ones on my 1.3sr years ago and they were harsh but handled really well.

yeah thats the ones, black ones are complete crap, very very good stuff those yellow ones, just get some XE rated springs for them

Koni's are well known for being VERY stiff

Where do I acquire these rated springs, was thinking of going to the guy on here 'accustomdesigns', but is there anywhere else? i want springs that actualy need compressing to put on not the ones that when the suspension has no pressure on it they wobble around, because i find they turn during use! and that just dodge! and when i ask what rating do i need?

yeah accustomdesigns just what's the quality and all that like, plus like i said i want them so when there is no weight on the springs they don't wobble around, because that's just dodgey!
