can i fit standard springs to my Koni dampers? I'm currently sitting ~ 50mm closer to the deck with konis

and selex springs, as iv'e said before the handling/ride quality is terrible!

before i lowered my car it had newish std shocks and springs but craved for a better setup, now i want to

go back to std ride height but with my adjustable konis

Have been considering Sachs springs from ECP

yes, of course, I ran standard ZX16v springs on my konis.

Sachs are not o.e though, Peugeot made Peugeot springs.

Eibach's work well.

what was the 'ride quality' like? Obviously going to be harder than std shocks. I liked the factory setup but need

something better but not too harsh. Iv'e only got a 110bhp ish hdi engine to play with just now, but 'one' day

my gti6 turbo engine will be completed so need a decent suspension setup to cope with that as well.

difficult to compare, as they were 122k mile originals! not harsh at all, didn't feel "hard" that'd be the springs.

The above is why I'd be interested to compare a new standard gti6 setup to a eibach and Bilstein combo.
