Koni Sport spring options
Hi,
I'm pretty sure I'm going to choose these over some BC/Meister R coilovers - but not sure which springs to go for, or to keep mine.
I can only really drop the car up to 25mm, as I understand it the koni's have a lower and upper spring perch - is that correct? I could keep my MY03 springs, but given their age I would like to replace with new if I can. H&R springs work out cheaper, but I think too much drop?
Opinions appreciated

Eibach springs
meiater r coilvers
both a great.
Depends what you want. How much you are happy to spend....
Hard to lost up an opinion with so little info.
There are lots of threds on suspension etc have a good old read and see what is best in your situation.

Go for the koni sport and stock springs. I have, using my 57k mile stock springs and it's subtly lower but the ride quality is fantastic. Much cheaper than coilovers and much less adjustment to screw things up.
Mine too is a daily driver.

Has anyone got any pictures of these cars?
I'm thinking of taking my BCs of the road car and going back to something a little more comfortable. Either eibach springs on stock shocks or stock springs on Koni shocks but I need the car to be about 30mm lower than standard.

Yeah, Paul has them on his 2002 springs. I guess if I wanted 'new' springs I could pick up some low miler ones from an 07-09 car instead as they had a different spring rate too IIRC.

Looking at the spring rate table, to get close to yours you'd need fronts from 2004 - 2007 and rears from a 2007 - 2009.

How come you decided against the MeisterR and BC?
