With my 17'' alloys I've put on Koni adjustable shocks with 30mm Eibach springs but the springs never lowered the car enough so took them off and had to settle with PI springs but if it's sitting too low at the front you will have problems, to sort that out I had to buy a pair of front adjustable track control arms which are very expensive but will solve the problem, along with Powerflex bushes at the front, with this set up it does make a massive inprovement in handing and never rubs at the front or back even with 5 people with No arch mods. hope that helps

Heres my old one, lowered 35mm on knackered suspension! Had it on coilovers after them, it handled great on them and look as sweet!

Hi mate, the Koni's on my car is quite a hard ride but I heard the coilovers are even more harder than the Koni's what would you say in your opinion because i was going to get them but it put me off a bit.

In my opinion mate, the coilovers were alot nicer! Car handled sooo much better withem 2, get them corner weighted if you get some too, it is well worth doing and made my rise soooo much more comfy, the Konis were horrible on that before i changed em!

Here's a couple of my old turbos....

First one is lowered 25mm with Eibach springs and Koni adjustable shocks on standard S2 wheels



Second one is lowered 35mm with same shocks/spring set up sitting on 17" Ace 112's



Hope it helps
