A Good Road Suspension Package?
I have an sti 4 which arrived in the country 3 years ago fitted with uprated springs. These are stupidly stiff but does give the car a nice, low stance!
I believe that it has the original dampers in place. Over the last few weeks I have noticed a 'grinding' noise, coming from the left rear when I turn right. Sounds like the shock is sticking, or just plain knackered! I have decided to go the whole hog and go for new springs and dampers. I would love to go back to the original sti 4 setup (supposed to be very good) but it will cost £700 for the dampers and £400 for the springs, which, to be honest, is a bit out of my price range. So, whats the best kit for around £600? Koni and Bilstein do various kits, or how about some KYB shocks coupled with eibach springs? Want a comfortable, but capable suspension set up. Any suggestions appreciated. |
KYB-AGX with Eibach springs will be a decent value for money package that fits your budget. You can get the AGXs from the states for around $500 delivered duty paid.
Those prices (£700 + 400) are daylight robbery. |
Chris, I've got an STiV set if you're interested in a standard set-up drop me a PM.

Mo, you have pm.

I have KW variante 1 coilovers fitted to my MY00 and the brilliant and not to expensive either.

Turns out that the noise was just the rear, near side mud-flap rubbing on the tyre! :Whatever_ Result! :luxhello: Think i'll put up with the hard suspension for now. Just got to sort my juddering brakes now. :brickwall
