Koni suspension kit

**rayray086** · 13-01-2007, 04:30 PM

G'day all.

I'm starting to look into a suspension kit which I can replace the stockies while doing my brake conversion. I firstly had my eyes set on the Eibach Pro-System (struts+springs) but that was a tad on the pricey side. A visit to the http://www.gtsuspension.com.au/ site has got me looking into Koni kits. Being tight on money, they've got Koni products on special and, well, they look nice

Anyone have any experience with Koni products before?

Also, any other suspension kits (strut+spring combos, coilovers = $$ ?) that you guys recommend that give a compromise between performance and price? I'd like to see the Golf lowered, and there's no better time than now when I'm about to get the brake conversion done and fit in new wheels on it

Any help/feedback would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Raymond.

I have Konis on my Bora and my wife's Vento. I had them on my 2 VR6's, my 16V Mk 2 and 2 of my MK1's and I would highly recommend them.

I've heard good things about Weitec kits, though I'm not prepared to ship them from overseas. Cost is still a big factor to me, and if anything goes/is wrong with them, it'd be a big hassle to arrange exchange/refunds. Know if there are any Aussie places that stock Weitec's?

The GT suspension site claims "up to 40mm" drop for the Koni's. Is this noticeable on your cars Bora Sport? I wouldn't want anything lower really but just wanted to know if you could physically see the differences too.

I'm just looking to buy a kit that's mainly used on the street.

Thanks for the feedback so far!

Weitec are available from KW in Sydney. Dragan said he can get these awhile ago when I posted I'd bought a set.

Hey Ray, out of interest how much did Koni quote for the coilover set?

Still kicking myself for missing out on Sean's old Eibachs...
