Im looking to buy a suspension kit for my S2, ive looked at Gaz coilovers but read somewhere christian wasnt happy with them (due to a problem with them, cant remember what the problem was, plus the rear turrets need seem welding ? is this correct ?), ive also considered Koni's but for £20 more you could buy the Gaz coilovers, what do people run on there S2's and any other choices besides the 2 ive mentioned ie G-max, AVO etc any help would be greatly appreciated

I think its important not to be led by price. The Gaz's that are only slightly more than the Koni's are the basic ones. Personally, for a road car, I'd go with the Koni's and a set of nice springs.

I'm yet to use mine with the Gaz Golds on it, so can't really comment. They were a ball-ache to fit though and yes, strengthening is required.

Thanks for the imput christian, im swaying to the koni's but what springs would you recomend ? Any other choices ?

I run the Spax adjustable full kit and am very happy with them!

I've got GAZ gold coilover on mine as the suspension setup I have requires them, and for a road car I would recommenced Koni adjustable with a 25 mm drop which as it happens my car had previously

MattyRST

Karlos what height are you running ?

MattyRST

Any pics of the car on a 25mm drop ?

Ive got Spax fixed rate with 25mm springs. Very good kit for under £300.

afraid not, but it ran on 17 inch momo arrows at the time with polybushes everywhere and had a really nice ride quality

MattyRST

Chopshop who did you buy them from ?

MattyRST

IIRC it's 25mm drop for an RS and 35mm drop for my Cabby (they sit higher in the first place).

i got koni adjustables 60mm drop at the front 40 at the back
handles well and aint uncomfortable for road driving

MattyRST

Just ordered a set of spax adjustables with 35mm drop, but i have to wait 2 weeks as spax havent got the springs in stock just dampers !!!

I bought them through amber perforamnce as they are just down the road.

Spax said 10 day wait because of the springs as they must make them to order, however, the still showed up in 2 days !!
