My car has now covered 30k and the suspension seems to be on the soft side, so I was thinking of either upgrading the springs or going all out on a set of coilovers - both by VWR.  Mark from VWR has assured me that their suspension setup used on their demo car does not compromise on comfort and the car can be used on a daily basis without shattered bones, but after reading this thread i'm more inclined to go for the springs now and maybe change to the coilovers at a later date, as I'm still afraid i'll compromise too much on comfort if i go for coilovers.  A test drive in their demo car is on the 'to do' list so that may change things :driver:.

Just a slight reservation I have is this; I have heard that changing the springs only can put more stress on the dampers and reduce their life span.  Is this true?

yes its true in  most cases, but less so for our cars as we have uprated damper anyway. Havent heard of any aftermarket springed cars with leaky dampers.

Ok, thanks for the info :happy2:  Think I've left the car standard for too long now...
