My 2wd saph currently has standard shocks and springs

gonna be upgrading soon, but what do i choose, what is everyone using

avo, koni bilstein etc ?

also how much of a drop should i go for ?

 

grove garage do a nice kit, raises it +60mm rally style!

 

i got bilstein -30 mm drop full kit,unsure what one it is but its got nurburgring stickers on it

was previously fitted to a mates car but he changed to coilovers 500 miles after he put them on,his sat really well and handles good too for a 2wd with 330bhp,stuck good to the road

will take pics tomorrow

 

road car or track?

if its track - i'd go for gaz coilovers

it its road - i'd go for Konis (adjustables) with ahmed springs

the ahmed springs lower it about 15mm, dont go anymore than that otherwise they handle worse than standard

 

its a road car

was looking on matt lewis e bay shop and hes doing avo kit with -20mm springs for

320 quid, but the konis are alot more expensive.

Will coilovers go straight on a 2wd ?

 

Might have to make space in the rear arches for the springs - just a touch or they'll rub.

pm ing you about the old ones pal

 

I'd just stick a set on koni's on mate.

Dont go for too much of a drop or you'll probably make it handle worse.

Got koni's on mine and you know what my car drives/rides/handles like.

I got no complaints anyway!

 

Coilovers will go on but as said you may need a hammer, just a couple of whacks where you can't see it is all that may be needed, but they are hard set up.
Koni are supremly comfy, even at hardest setting I would use these with std ride height chassis dynamic(avo) springs, still drops around 1 1/4", I have my coilovers set at std height - 1/2", going lower will decrease body roll, but may if you go stupid low put the geometry out too much for grip, especially at the rear.
