Thoughts about Eibach Springs and Koni Adjustable dampers... Pics?
Any?
Are there two types of eibachs? A pro kit, and a lower sport kit?
Also are there any disadvantages to the Koni adjustables versus the Bilsteins? I have seen some talk about them not being gas charged, and therefore not holding up well, or reacting as quickly or precisely.

Unless you are a professional and know and understand how to set up a suspension, ........
just get all Eibach, springs and dampers and you will be very happy. Most of the people with adjustable shocks have no idea what they are doing, they just like the idea that they can tune their cars handling and ride.

I have apr springs and koni adjustable..... Great combo......
I prefer these to Bilsteins as they seem more consistent on the track and I like being able to set the firmness my self. The apr springs have a good ride on the road and seem to be made well.

somebody got you misinformed dude
Last but not least, KONl's are built to last a lifetime. Once you have bought a set of KONl's for your car, they usually will outlive it. KONI street shocks carry a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser for as long as you own the vehicle.
straight from their website.

I have this setup. Pretty good for the street.
I wish I would have gone with the KW's as I track and already want more adjustability. But I am more than happy with the current setup, and probably gonna be better for me long run anyway, as I drive 25k a year. Plus it will teach me the rudimentary basics of suspension tuning, then I can move up to truly adjustable coilovers. As far as longevity, etc, Koni's have a great rep in the motorsports world. I suppose Bilstein does too, but I always heard Koni's were the thing.
