looking for the best for handling and adjustability so i can have it too low if i so desire but back up to handle well for tracks

Any decent coilovers for the S2 or will Konis give good handling and the abitily to drop it a fair bit as well?

im not too worryed about dropping it right down coss of potholes,but coilovers(avo gaz etc) will give you plenty of adjust ability but at a sacrifice of a hard ride,but if your a trackday addict it wont matter or koni for all round driveability................obviously this is only my opinion tho

Koni top adjustable and keep the drop to no more than 30mm as beyond this it looks daft, buggers the geometry and will drive like crap

I still fail to see how coilovers are too hard for road use as long as you spec the right poundage of spring. Even on their hardest setting my ERST on Leda coilovers is still not as harsh as my factory spec Abarth 500 Essesse is with its revised suspension.

I've got 270LB fronts and 180LB rears and it drives lovely....when it's on the road.

i run GAZ coilovers on my xr2 and they're a little harsh, but i can turn the stiffness down by 14 clicks yet till it's on softest (set on 14 out of 36 clicks). that's on 250Lb front and 210Lb rear springs.

i've heard coilovers are a bit harsh on the mk4's too but never tried them yet.

I've had good experience with KYB stuff, drove mint and handled well

depends on what you use the car for really???
my gaz coillies are awesome if a little bumpy

i had a little fez mk4 with kyb springs and shox on and they were good handling was bang on

looking for a decent quality ride that handles well for fast road use, not that bothered about using it for track but there's every possibility i will.

I've had a car with coilovers before and it was a hard ride, wasn't able to adjust them though. It wasn't the most comfortable but i got use to it and it didn't put me off running coilovers on the road again
