Just started fitting my Koni kit, and the springs that come with the kit are made by Lesjofors! Does anyone know if this is the normal spring that comes with the kit. For some reason i was expecting a koni spring.

my kit came with les jouvors springs too,im led to believe koni dont actually make springs so im assuming they spec a spring for a company to make.

what settings you got yours at,

I found the best settings for me are soft rear and medium front.

What koni set was it you aquired all of you???

Where did you get them from, best price. I had a look at koni but heard a few people say they wernt that great. If anyone can give me some info on how they do work with the coupe i may be willing to get some aswell.

Which koni set, spring rate to go for, are they height adjustable ones, stuff like that \:D \:D please.

Thanks
Daniel

I found a middle setting on the rear and soft on the front gave the best results on the konis.

Having the front hard and rear soft will induce understeer earlier.

I am interested in the coilovers that are in the pipeline, but they wont be sorted for a while, but im keeping an eye on the coilover final solution bit \:D he he he. What are the best konis to get though, there is about 5 different kits.

I bought my kit from Larkspeed, it was only about £350. made one hell of a difference to my track handling. but it is very stiff on road. Not sure if mine is the best kit tho
