Which shocks to go for with h&r springs. Your opinions.
« on: February 16, 2012, 04:46:47 pm »
Hi guys, i have purchased some h&r springs and would like your opinions on uprated shock absorbers you would go for and why , aslo what have you had fitted.. I have been looking at the bilsteins but dont know if you can buy them without the springs and also koni fsd's which come with a lifetime guarantee. Not really fussed about price. Dont want coilies included. Cheers.  :happy2:

Will go perfectly with your springs. essentially you'll have the B12 kit

No experience of the koni, but had the B8/ H&R combo for the last 1.5 years and very happy with it HTH

I'd go with the Bilstein B8 kit. You might even be better off financially getting the full B12 kit and selling the H&R springs. Obviously that depends on whether you like the stance of the Sportlines.
