Eibach Pro Kit or WALK + ARB?

[SMOG]

Along with a stage 1 remap, which would give me the biggest improvement in handling? Lower/stiffer springs or WALK with stiffer rear ARB?

Sadly, I can't afford to get everything done at the same time - have to do them in stages over a few months.

Cheers.

springs all day long and it will look so much better too

Thanks Mat. That's the way I'm going for overall benefits and to hopefully get rid of the rolling and 'floaty' feeling. I'm assuming not too many people have WALK installed, and if they do it wouldn't be in isolation.

I had walk fitted with eibach springs and it made a big improvement on the way the car felt ie less body roll and turn in was a little crisper. Lots of people have the walk kit fitted on the forum with a whole lot of other suspension set ups,I have fitted with kw v3 coil overs and it rides spot on

Walk and ARB IMO.  springs make the ride less controlled over bumpy surfaces as the dampers have reduced travel.  IMO if your changing springs you should change dampers as well

OK, I was under the impression that Pro Kits work with OEM dampers no problem as they only lower the car by a small amount. It's the progressive spring rate that I'm after for less pitching and roll, not so much the lower height. I did't want firmer dampers due to the crappy roads and countless speed bumps I drive every day. What dampers would you suggest that won't kill the ride?

Koni FSD dampers ride better and comfier than stock, as well as perform better when pushed.  They are the only dampers ive tried that ive found to be comfier than stock

[SMOG]

Janner, the Koni FSD dampers are nearly £500 per set, way over my budget. I'll stick with the OEM dampers for now and see how they go.

Cheers.
