I went for the eibach pro street S set of coilovers, and i have to say the ride is great, they are made by KW by the way, there is a sticker on them saying so.
but iam pleased with them, lowerd car about 32mm front 30mm rear. didnt want to go any lower as the handling goes out the window once you get to low.
but now it feels nice, its not harsh and it feels firm when driven hard yet at slow speeds its comfy enough.

so anone looking for some coilies which dont rattle your teeth i would recomend them highly! also fitted new spring bumps on back and top mounts. also new top mounts on the front. thats when i spotted the front lower wish bone bush's looking worse for wear! was gona go polybush but decided for standard uprated bilstien bush's. still retaining the comfort but also holding some improved life span. well we shall see if they do or dont. new drop links fitted when i changed the dampers ect, so once ive done the wish bones this weekend, its off for full alignment! and iam done!
