Afternoon everyone. Just after some opinions on what to do really as I cannot make my mind up.
So as life plans have changed slightly (house move before a new car) I need to think about sorting my suspension out. Car is currently on a set of H&R's that have around 45k on them. Standard dampers are now ready for the bin and on 75k. Other suspension mods which might be worth noting are a Whiteline RARB and Superpro ALK. It looks like I will be keeping the car now for the next 18 months to 2 years before I think about swapping.
So as I see it my options are:
1. Replace dampers with VW Economy Sport units (£200 full set including new rear bump stops) keeping the H&R's. Get back some reasonable handling and comfort back but risk the dampers not lasting very long again. Still looks good.
2. Replace dampers with VW Economy Sport units but re-fit standard springs. Not sure how it will handle with RARB and SALK, most definitely comfier, I won't keep catching the splitter, dampers will last longer but looks worse.
3. Replace dampers with Bilsteins BUT at possibly double the cost, keep the H&R's, handling should be improved, not sure on the comfort, dampers will last longer, still looks good and can sell on here once removed to get some money back when it is time to swap.
Part of me wants more comfort based on the fact it rides like a heap at the minute. Extremely crashy and very vague in the corners. The other part of me still wants to have good handling for playing about but can't justify throwing loads of money at it with it going in the not to distant future.
Any thoughts are appreciated
