Default Anyone want to buy my Koni coilovers? Practically new.

850obo
including
1.8t koni coilover springs, 2.8 front koni coilover springs..
You have a choice... The 2.8 ones spring rates are 75 lbs more.
This is for audi a4 1.8t quattro and 2.8 quattro because I have both sets of springs.

Default Wow, you set it to 90% percent is still not stiff enough for you?...

Just wondering, who makes a stiff setup?

Default its very stiff.. But i want stiffer.. and these coilovers are not supposed to be set at the lowest..

I like the ride hieght at the lowest setting but I know its not supposed to be like that.
Im thinking of KWv2 or H&R ultras.

Just that they are not recommended for the spring collar to be set at the lowest.

Default Pretty easy really. The threaded body needs to have threads that start lower than the height of the

relaxed spring or you'd never be able to install them. There isn't enough clearence between the coils and the body to get a good purchase with a spring compressor so the spring must be installed relaxed. Once the spring is mounted you need to wind it up to a minimum compression on the spring to allow for maximum rebound. Too low on the setting and when the wheel is unweighted the spring can slip from the proper location on the upper perch.
