Good suspension for anyone wishing to convert from DRC to coilovers. Had mine fitted over 2 years on mine now. Iv just had the setting adjusted to make for a more softer ride. Very noticeable. For £900 you cant complain at that.
Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a well sorted racecar

Jules i keep thinking the same thing but as you said your ride height is pretty much the same as mine sits now and my drc is all good at the mo! i dont know if theres any point? wouldnt mind going bit lower tho,do you think it would get any rub 20mm lower?

irrc 7 from bound and 6 rebound initially, just had the bound setting knocked down 1 to make it softer. I had AMD over in Thurrock do it as I had the KWs raised up by 5mm and also had a 4WLA done.

The backs can go low,but with our wheels you will have to be careful with going to low on the front.
But I suppose with the coils set hard that would help,but do you want effect the comfort.


If your happy,stay as you are mate :thumbs:

I would love to take these if they were for the Avant.

Maybe some research to see if there is any actual difference in the rear spring rate might help you get a few more punters interested? I have had a quick search but have not found anything.

They quoted me £240+vat to fit the coilovers and 4wla done.I was very happy with that price.

240 sounds good. However you will need to have the 4WLA done again after the suspension has settled. Maybe save money and leave it until it had dropped a little, then go back for a tweak? A few weeks should be enough time. When you having it fitted?
