Default How so? I ran vogtland springs with Konis, which are much tighter than the sports...
and it was anything BUT uncontrolled. IT was a little bouncy, but only in that because it was SO tight, it followed every ripple in the road surface.

Default I do, they are great. I've done at least 4 cars with this setup, the ride is great....
Konis would therefore be that much better.

Default when adding the Bilstein's did you get any increased wheel gap, remain the same
or did the gap close up?
TIA

Default since these were the Neuspeed version, with the extra grooves, they all went down..
but I have heard of folks having a slight increase in gap when going to Bilstiens...

Default He asked about running sport pack SPRINGS with koni SHOCKS....
I can't see how it would be bouncy and uncontrolled feeling compared to stock shocks with teh same springs..
