Which Kit from Koni? Which Springs? I assume your just refering to the shocks?

I used to run Koni Shocks with Eibach springs. The shocks were adjustable (soft,med,hard) and they handled really well.
The ride is a little harder but thats the same when going for any uprated suspension.

Just to point out - the konis are usually "inserts" and means you need to cut your standard shock and slot in the koni shock.

It's the complete kit of shocks and springs. I'm quite certain Koni sold this kit with their own springs.

There's a couple of different type of Koni kit - does the one you're looking at have adjustable damping?

Well it's off Fishy Dave's old car., which now belongs to my brother.
It's adjustable and it's got red springs. That's all I know.

Koni yellow = adjustable
Koni red = non adjustable OE replacements.

It SEEMS to be a pretty good deal until you remember the fronts are actually an insert and not a complete damper as you get with most other cars, then you realise it's actually very expensive for what you are getting!

Buy the OSRAV adjustables, a much much better damper than the Koni, I speak from experience!
