a question for anyone who has these fitted, what are they like in terms of harshness? i have removed my KW V2's as for most roads they are just too stiff, too many arse clinching moments everytime i go over a bump! i will admit they are fantastic on a billiard table smooth stretch of road, i've since refitted my O/E spec bilsteins and 30mm springs and tbh, generally speaking i actually prefer them over the KW's. However i would like to go a LITTLE bit harder so hence above question

I find mine very comfortable (B8s with eibach springs). Obviously they are still stiff but very liveable and much much less crashy than all the 306s with coilovers ive been in. |

I thought they were bloody awesome from the passenger seat of CUJ's old car. Great blend for road use  I agree on the KWs. Mine are currently set to stiffest all round and its not pleasant. But it isn't really a road car. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

mine were set on the softest setting and i still thought they were too crashy. i may just sell my V2's and go for a set of B6's, £156 per side seems fairly reasonable to me although i was shocked at the price of eibach springs |

I didn't mind them on half setting, pretty good ride. Maybe they were under damped for the spring?________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

At least you haven't got the Gaz Golds I've just fitted with 415lb springs. I think I may as well have just bolted the wheel directly to the chassis. On the other hand though it should handle amazingly and the only time I'll be driving it on the road is to the tracks________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!
