Which coilover kit?
Hi, I have a 97 uk turbo and am looking into a coilover set.
I have got it down to Tein superstreet or KW varient 1's, due to budget.
Just wondering which to go for? I've spoken to a couple of people but still
unsure.
Thanks

Think about Apex/BC coilovers, better set-up for our crap UK roads, but I have to admit the KW3's felt superb on the Skoda "missile" I was taken for a spin in !

Alright Sabas, i run Eibach coilovers on my car and i found them really compliant. They are like the KW variant 1, i really like the quality of Eibach stuff its so well put together. I got them with their Anti roll bars to and it made a hell of a difference.

Thanks for the replies.
I eventually ordered the superstreets as a few people seem to have them.
I am confused about anti roll bars, some people say just rear and droplinks,
some say front, I guess each car is different slightly, but generally what is
best to do?

Fit the superstreets first, and see what you think of the handling. Personally i like to do one mod at a time, that way you know if you are making it better or worse.
Anti-roll bars can make dramatic changes to the handling characteristics of your car, but you will never know what it was like before hand, if you fit them all at once.

That is probably the best, I haven't pushed it yet, so if I don't know what it
can do at the moment, how will I know if there is a difference!
I'll get the Tein's on, then see about the ARBs. I appreciate that there are
loads of suspension questions, so thanks for everyone's help!
