Default Leda B Coilover, How hard is the ride?

I've been offered a set of Leda coilover's for my MY00 but before I get them I was wanting to know how firm they are, I'm currently running eibach's on standard dampers which are OK but I have 2 young kids so don't want the ride to be too harsh.

Anybody help?

Cheers

Scott

I presume the ones you are being offered are fully adjustable - in which case you can soften the bump/rebound setting very easily if the ride is hard. They are normally supplied with 275lb and 325lb, but softer springs are readily available.

Thanks Guys,

It is the fully adjustable ones, so I'll try them and alter to suit if they are still to hard on the softess setting I might have to have a rethink them.

Cheers

you can get a set of replacement springs in a softer poundage for £60 deliverd thats £120 for all 4

i settled on 200 lbft on the front and 175lbft on the back in the end for genral round the doors use, i have a few others saved in the garage for track days and stuff which are harder
