Default S2 suspension???

Ok well i got a little bit of dosh to spend on the S2 but not MEGA bucks as thats going into the engine pmsl

I want some springs/shockers or even just springs on the s2, at the mo it doesnt sit low enough, but is also REALLY bumpy/harsh, so I need advice on which springs and maybe shockers are best to get??

I will be sitting her on 17s so how much would you recomend lowering her by, I obviously dont want her to catch, but dont want her to sit high either lol

Ideas please if you will

No more than 30mm for lowering. Konis are proven on the S2.

Bilstein also do a really good kit.

They are a little yea. We need to check what's on urs now. It might be the shocks are fine, and some different springs will sort it. Nice and cheap that way.

Kim, mine was on Pi springs and Monroe shocks. It was the back end that was harsh, really harsh. The springs just seemed to collapse. I've just put new koni's and Cobra Springs on. The springs are defo much better, and they quality is top notch. But, it's still quite firm, even on softest setting. Its nowhere as bad as it was, it doesn't crash and is more controlled. I may try the monroe shocks on the cobra springs yet. Be intersting to see what your mate has.
