Coilover decision - adjustable damping, do I really need it?

<< < (3/3)

WhiteGTI:
Many thanks to all of those whom replied and gave me advice, it is much appreciated, and I have taken it all onboard!

I see the value of both routes really. It would be nice to adjust the damping, but at the same time, I reckon that it would be pretty easy to mess up. Furthermore, as the car won't be living on a racetrack I doubt I'd change the damping too much for road use anyway.

Just had a lengthy conversation with Julian at Balance Motorsport, and he said that I should without doubt go for the Bilsteins. He said that their monotube design is far superior to the twintube design of the likes of KW (bar their clubsport range) and Eibach. He said that I wouldn't miss the adjustability of the B16's, and that a well adjusted B16 would be very very similar to the B14 anyway.

Can't wait, but it's going to be a long few months before I order some!

Thanks again,
Chris.  :smiley:
