Konis or Bilstein which one is more comfy with eibach pro springs??

[SPQR]

I had Bilsteins on my Escort RS2000. They were great. I experienced Konis in a Ferrari, which came standard with them. They were great. But I preferred the Bilsteins and I do believe that they are technically superior because of their monotube and separated high pressure gas construction. I remember the ride was constant no matter how long the drive. It did not soften-up with heat.

I have an eibach pro kit with Bilstein shocks in my car at them moment. and i have sat in a car with eibachs and konis, so in terms of 'comfort', koni is much more comfortable.

NOTE: this comparison is between bilstein 'sport' shocks with no damper setting so it is quite firm.

the konis yellows was also set at the firmest level as well.

In terms of handling however, that is a different story.

Your car is not a CL9 Accord, so you can't really compare comfort and handling.

Ive got the eibach pro and koni yellow combo.

The ride is comparable to stock. Ive got it on the softest setting.

At low speeds it feels bumpier to stock, but at higher speeds it absorbs the bumps much better.

We should do a comparison.

Tony1234 and i have almost the same set up, but i have the koni shocks and he has the bilsteins and i have the spc camber kit and he has the eibach kit.

I've currently got eibach prokit springs and bilsteins in my CL9.

Great setup!!

Would recommend over koni as i have also had eibach and koni in my previuos car.

Alot better ride and also better handling IMO with the Bilstiens.

Go the Bilstein/Eibach combo.I reckon it's the best setup for the street on a Euro.Mind you i haven't driven a Euro with the Koni/Eibach combo.

has anyone got any experience with stock springs and bilstein? Is it even advisable at all?

[longers]

do you even lose height doing that?

[MiSloVic]

well, intension is just to replace the shocks.. So, ride height will stay more or less the same. Wondering if the car will ride smoother with bilsteins

I dont think you will lose ride height. The height should be reduced with the springs and not the shocks.

I would imagine that even without changing the springs, there should be improvement with driving. But thats just a guess, i havent had any expereince with bilstein shock and springs. Probably some like tony1234 can answer this

Ride height will not change if you replace shocks only and stay with stock springs.I'd say there would have to be an improvement in ride and handling doing this but i've never driven a car let alone a Euro with this done so i can't give you an answer on that.

Not mean to hijack but I find this thread helpful... Wanted to know if the Eibach spring/Bilstein shock combo fit the Civic FD?

I find the stock sus too stiff on Syd roads and wanted to look for something comfortable, am I in the right direction? Cheers...
