If you go to see Viarouge in France, i think you find the best compromise, because you can choose your settings !

Koni's and Ahmed Track spec springs on mine. Handles loads better than it used to. The fastroad ones would be better if not doing any trackdays.

I've got Gaz coilers too and I think the handling is spot on.

I have AVO coilovers, very hardcore for the road, if road use only I would go KONI with AVO/Chassis dynamics std ride height springs.

I have my car on Koni adjustable shocks /Chassis Dynamics std height springs as recommended by my Simon at Woodford Motorsport. Makes for a good road setup, with reasonable ground clearance. I Had lowered springs before and when 4 up and accelerating hard rear silencer would drag on the road!

CheeRS, Mike.
