New suspension wanted - advice please?

[Vescaegg]

Hi everyone,

I have just purchased a FF 182 and want something a bit more sporty in the suspension department. The car oddly dosent have the cup suspension pack despite having the anthracite wheels which i just found out!

Can anyone reccomend me a good replacement? Im baffled a bit by all the options on K-tec and now im not even sure what i need!

I want it all done. Cost isnt (too much) of an issue....

Thanks!
Kieran

BTW it's not a FF if it doesn't have the suspension pack

Also if your looking for upgraded suspension not having the cup packs is good news.

^ I see you're still on FF patrol lol

K-tec coilovers are awesome IMHO

KW Variant 1 or if you are feeling flush KW Variant 2
If you want monotube and cant be bothered with adjusting the damping then bilstein do their B14, with digressive internal valving to suit

Everything else walks in their shadow

Prob be better off for suspension options without the cup suspension!

Lots more options to choose from, would recommend spending money on a decent set from the start!

What you looking to use the car for?

The first question you must ask yourself is what is wrong with your suspension/handling at the moment. Once you have found an aspect that you feel needs improving than you can choose what set up is best for you.

What would you say is the best upgrade from cup suspension ? coilovers ? or will springs be a good enough upgrade ?
Cheers!

Try some Eibach springs first, Sportlines on the standard shocks. Then if you want it firmer go for the Koni adjustables.
