Default 2wd Springs - what ones?

Hello all, i have a 2wd saph with 18" wheels with Koni shocks but have no idea what the springs are, the car sits too low at the rear so i was going to change the springs but have no idea what set of springs to buy. Do i go for standard height springs or lowered and is there a particular brand which is best?

any help would be much appreciated.
cheers

Gary

Ahmed Bayjoo fast road springs are a great choice with Konis. I have them on my Sapph and it works exceptionally well.

hi there
Some people on here rate eibach springs but I'd have to agree wih the above as I also run Ahmed bayjoo springs with konis front and bilsteins rear and the stance and ride is spot on.
You buy them from Martin Hadland

Standard height for me at least that is what I would be getting, the Ahmed springs do lower the car by around 10MM + IIRC.

If looking for std height look at the Avo range although apparently these also lower the car slightly but not so you would notice.

To add Ahmed springs were designed around the Koni shocks so are a good combo

If you do go lower don't do so excessively else this will do more harm than good.

Ahmeds springs are the way to go.

I'd go avo/chassis dynamics std ride height, I find them better than the ahmed, but every one different, ahmed were not designed around koni, they just happen to work well with them.
