koni shocks and eibach springs....good combo??

im running this on my DA9 (eibach prokit) i think its a very good match

awesome for daily driving on the soft setting and handles great when you adjust the damper to a harder setting. i have a 2 finger gap in the rear and about 2 in the front.. on 15s with 50 profile.

pretty good daily driving height for a DA9 tho.

dunno if that helps

my 2c :wave:

KYB Shocks are cheaper than Koni's & ive heard there not that bad either, but ide still probably try and save up for the Koni's.

Most lowering springs are very similar to one another, if you stick with a big well known brand you wont have an issues, Ive always been really happy with Pedders lowering springs & im currently running Skunk 2 springs with an OEM Shock, but am saving up for Koni Yellows, Have kinda slyed away from a coilover set up!

i've got koni yellows and eibach springs (sportsline) on my dc2 vtir... excellent for street use because its damper adjustable. softest setting is softer than stock shocks and the stiffest setting is satisfactory. on the skidpan the sportsline springs feels a lil too soft... if ur thinkin of the occasional track i would advice getting eibach prokit springs which are stiffer from what i've been told :)

not sure of the spring rates though...

Ended up getting a quote from Kmac, and was $540 installed for whatever height i wanted. Might be going this way or else 2nd hand N+ that some1 is selling
