Eibach Springs with Koni or Boge Gas

[Hector-8]

Right after reading various threads on this topic I am down to the following options.

I drive a mk2 golf 16v.

Eibach springs with Koni shocks

or

Eibach springs with boge gas

At the minute I have crashy cheapo coilovers. So any of the above will be better. My question is, will any of the above sit lower than the other and what are your opinions on them. Also , where is the best place to purchase???

Thanks very much

Im ready to buy so just want some final thoughts and advice.

Which Eibach spring have you gone for - I've just bought some -20 / -30mm (i think they call the the pro kit) ones and Boge Gas shocks.

The rear ones are fitted but the front still has the old set up as I ran out of time at the weekend.

I bought the Eibachs from them direct and the Boge's from GSF and they let me have them at trade price!!

I havnt just bought them yet, looking final advice on them. The lower the better, but no more than 50mm low. I think Eibach pro line are 20mm lower for 16v making it 40mm lower than standard as its already lower than 8v and other models. Have you any pictures???

Both are good choices, all depends on budget but Koni's are excellent.

As Wayne says both are good. Have you considered Bilsteins?

[Hector-8]

I was asking for prices in various places and bilsteins have been recommended. aahhhh! Also kw v1's

My question is, which is more comfy, kw coilovers or bilsteins b12 and eibach springs. I only lower 40 / 50 max

This would be the better choice.

konis are very comfy and handle superbly as youd expect for what your paying. i had boge shocks with std springs on mine before swapping to coilovers and they were fine.

KW are the best, but you pay for it!
If budgets are tight then non stainless steel items such as Weitech's same manufactures as KW's, its just not stainless but spray wax/WD40 on them every six months and they should be solid!

No more coilovers...

Its now between Bilstien B12 kit (eibach springs)

or

Koni shocks with eibach springs.


What are the differences between these two setups??
