MK2 16v Suspension ideas

id suggest koni sports dampers and eibach springs, its a great setup

putting lowering springs on standard dampers is a stupid idea, you might as well cut the original springs!

Eibach designed to work fine with OEM dampers.

Yep and great if your on a budget, i paid £90 for eibach springs & boge gas dampers off here

LOL cool mate, although the car is still off the road. Ive just finished fitting new brake pipes/ bias valve and adding new fluid. Getting new tyres fitted tomorrow then she's ready for an MOT whooooop! Its been a long 5 months, phew.

No not at all unless your slammed to the deck and even then it's not that bad I had cheap springs on standard shocks and they were much worse.

Crikey, amazing response thanks all. I will need to check the prices but think that the Koni/Eibach route to be the best compromise. Do I need to fit uprated top mounts or performance bushes? The car is totally standard and on the original shocks so wondered if this would be a good idea? Also (yes lots of questions and do not want to take the p) but would a strut brace be a good idea aswell?

I wouldn't drop the car by more than 25/30mm, well not if you drive near speed humps 

[drapergti]

Loads of speed humps, any ideas if I go for a -25 drop?

Eibach springs and koni dampers.

I'm guessing that was obvious to everyone else but me! LOL thanks for the advice all I will check out the prices. Cheers!
