As above, what do you guys recomend for suspenstion lower kit to the S2?

BR Butchi

 

koni adjustable shocks are great but the springs you get are too soft and makes it harsh on bumpy roads currently got spax springs with my adj koni's and is better but still not there yet

 

i would go with spax.

 

koni with eibach springs

 

spax mate got them on mine feels alot better than the konis

 

spax adjustables mate

 

"koni adjustable shocks are great but the springs you get are too soft and makes it harsh on bumpy roads "
That doesnt make any sense, your springs determine the ride height and your shocks determine the ride quality (ie:harder or softer), unless the springs are fucked and make the shocks bottom out on bumpy roads!!??

 

So it is Spax or Koni that is the best choice for the S2?

 

What about Gaz Gold Coilover kit? Worth the money?

 

coil overs can be very harsh for the road and many people suggest that there is a need to strengthen the suspension turrets when you use them

 

Of course this has nothing to do with the fact that they are or are not coilovers. It's just what springs you order with them and how you set the dampers.

 

mine was riding on koni adjustable shocks with apex srings ride was good, only had them on the car for 2 weeks then i ripped it to bits for alot of TLC

 

so why can you buy different rates of springs for track and road car if all they do is alter ride height not aid in stiffening the ride, it's a combination of the 2 that gives you the quality of ride and if you have springs that are too soft then the DAMPERS work is increased and the quality goes down. having springs that are too soft will give same result as springs that are too hard on our roads and bang into every pot hole. your standard rs turbo spring is 99% of the time stiffer than the uprated ones but most people want it lower so swap them when what you want is a spring of similar poundage but 20mm lower hence why some people have cut a coil of the standard spring to lower cars(i'm not saying it's right but each to there own)

 

no need for coilover if you gone use it as a daily drive!

koni is a ok kit, have that my self! order the adjustable so you could adjust the harness.
dont lower more than 35mm.

could also be an idea to change the bushes when you are at it!

 

Getting my front suspension done now, my front driver`s side shocker died so replacing the koni adjustables that must`ve been on my car for years. Got new koni adjustables and spax springs -25mm as had -35mm on previous and wanting to make the S2 a bit more speedhump friendly as they fking everywhere around here now Hoping to get call any minute now to gan collect it and see what its like. I`ll post my verdict on them later on mate

 

Eibach discontinued rs turbo s2..

 

Noo thats like finding out Santa does not exist

real bad news

 

Know of a couple sets of springs knockin about...

 

Koni adjustable shocks and Cobra springs on mine!

 

got koni adjustables with avo springs nice ride ! did have koni springs but 2 harsh !

 

I did order full adjustable koni kit from autotintdesgin.co.uk and what i get was 4x koni adjustables and lesjöfors springs.. anyone heard these before?
I have kit still in package and i think i will install these in winter

 

Lesjöfors is the stuff sold at Motonet.

 

id be interested to know whats the best set up as im just going to order up my koni set but if i can get a better ride quality using different springs il just get the shockers and order a different set of springs.be good to know what the outcome will be.

 

so what poundage springs are best with the gaz coilovers used on the road ????.

dave.

 

id go with apex springs.
can anyone tell me whether the koni springs are the same rate all the way through or if they are progressive like in my sigi pic?

 

i have avo's on mine and its absolutey savage, feels like the doors are gonna come off! i needs some konis!
