Hi all, I have a 1998 20vt, which has now very tired suspensions which i'd like to replace with something more sportier,but at the same time, i like comfort. Ideally i would like something that falls in the category of "fast road use" car, which I'm always a huge fan of. Any suggestion on what would be the best option? i don't mind spending a bit more for quality ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

I have OSRAV shock absorbers with Eibach springs
Cost is about £1000

Are the front Bilstein B6 still available anywhere? Personally I found the Bistiens very crashy, had them on my car some years ago, one gave up after just a few thousand miles. I’m back on standard set up. I also run my tyres at 35 psi front this does make a difference for comfort, after reading on here on achieving a more comfortable ride.
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

That's interesting jimboy. What make are the standard shock absorbers? Hi Andrew, can’t remember the name but I have Monroes they suit my needs now. Loads of threads on here about suspension as you’d expect all with different requirements.

In the end, given they're not that much more than Bilsteins, I've purchased a pair of adjustable OSRAV shocks from Zagato Lancia. The best decision you will make in a long while for your coupe ride and handling ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)
