As some of you may know i have ordered koni coilovers but have been told that they won't be here until end of august at the earliest... :sad1:
So i wanted to know if it would be a good or bad idea if i should just cancle order and put the stock dampers back on my car what had covered only about 22000 miles in about 3 and a half yrs and get eibach sport lines springs which are quite cheap.
as my main objective with getting coils was just to lower car with a decent ride.
my stock dampers have been sitting in my shed since i had koni fsd and pro-kit installed about 7 or 8 months ago maybe more but i have just checked them by pushing them down which needs quite at bit of force and the rods slowly come back up so does that mean they are ok.... :happy2:
How is the ride with that setup?
plus would appreciate any pics... :wink:

Having only done 22k miles and also needing lots of force, they should be fine, but you could have them checked on a bench by a local trusted garage.
If you are only wishing to achieve a lower stance then I see no reason to justify spending on coilovers.
