Rubbish coil overs from Hottuning! (T A Technics) Springs were far too hard (350lbs!) so had to buy softer ones, bent one strut after driving through a dip (not hole) in the road, possible casued by the solid supplied springs - okay, they sent me a pair of struts FOC, but more hassle changing them. Just as well they sent a pair as the new strut which replaced the bent one collapsed 4 months later! DONT GO CHEAP! Whats the old saying - buy cheap, buy twice??? Paid £165 for the full kit, then another £90 for the softer springs - actually rides tidy now!


Where did you get the replacement springs from and what lbs did you go for?

I've got Koni fsd/eibach pro springs and I'm happy with them. I think the whole kit was in the £500 region. The ride is comfy when cruising and firms up plenty when pushing it. The handling is 100% better than oem and really inspires confidence through the twisties.

The only downside is the drop. 10mm max and doesn't look "lowered" at all to the untrained eye.

I based my decision on the type of roads I travel on everyday and for anyone who knows Sheffield they will tell you the roads are shite.
