Title: Getting rid of Weitecs for anniversary suspension?
Post by: Philboy on 10 March 2010, 11:58
Ok i've had my weitec coilovers fitted for about five months and i'm just not getting on with them at all there just to harsh. But i don't want to go back to standard.

So i've just bought a set of Anni shocks but no springs yet can't decide on 40mm KW's or do i just get the anni springs and be done with it?

are there any anni owners running standard shocks with uprated springs if so what spring have they found works best.

I love the look of my coillie's but i also want my ride quality back the roads are just sh*t at the moment

What do you guys think?? :undecided:

if you want your ride quality back then id go for anni springs and dampers or why not try a springs and shocks kit koni, bilstien, etc

just get some Eibach -30mm - cheaper and i think are exactly the same as the Anni springs; pretty sure they were made by Eibach

Werna, you say it still feels the same as when you had standard suspension? So not any tighter? Handling not any better? Does it not stop the car rolling as much, as in swaying to one side when your going round a bend?
