Koni Sport Kit On 172

[rich[182]]

Reckon my rear dampers are dead, not convinced about fronts to be honest and was already planning Eibach Sportlines before finding this out.

Renault dealer prices for OEM rear shocks are £102 inc vat per pair and OEM front shocks are £97 inc vat per pair. Cheapest I've seen Eibach Sportlines are £135 inc vat so that'd be £334 inc vat to replace everything (+ fitting)

Larkspeed currently doing Koni Sport suspension kit (4 dampers and 4 springs) for £350 inc vat and no delivery as theres a branch nearby

Before anyone mentions coilovers, I simply cannot stretch to them so :-

Is it a no-brainer to assume Koni's better than OE shocks + Eibach Sportlines ? If not would it just be best to go Koni as they are matched ?
Is £350 good price ?
Are the Koni springs linear or progressive ?
What drop would I realistically get ?
Is this my best option on a £350-ish budget ?

Oh, and can anyone else supply these for that price ?

koni springs are a bit parp, but the shocks are good

Thanks, surely better setup than standard though ? What's best route to take with £350ish, can the springs normally be split from the kit and replaced with Eibach's ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

god yeah, it'll much better than std

Koni / Eibach Sporline are excellent for the road but a bit soft for the track.
