Suspension...Shocks/Springs

[Tsportaudia3]

Looking at new suspension possibilities...dont particularly want coilovers. So Ive been speaking to Damian at DPM about Shocks/Springs combination. He has offered me a couple of choices, just wondering if anyone has had previous experience of them.

They are:

I had Koni kit on my old Escort RS Turbo, I must say it was excellent, but I haven't had them on an Audi so I can't say for sure about them on these vehicles.

For £400 I'd personally just go with good coilovers, if you dont wanna go that low just have them adjusted fully up. What is it about coilovers that don't entice you?

Too harsh for our crappy roads IMO, did have them on my old A3 T sport, but they were only the cheap jom ones, which are good value.

Can you get a decent coilover kit for £400?

AP coilovers from Damian are 430 I think they are. Want to be good for the middle price of coilovers and 30% uprated dampening

We now have the AP coilovers for the A3 8L FWD for £378.00 inc. VAT and delivery.

Ive got Koni STRT shocks (orange ones) with Eibach springs. Really comfy and awesome in the twistys. Shocks are gas filled as well !
Eibachs dont lower by much mind but thats not what I was after. They drop it maybe 15mm (eibach reckon 20/25 I think?)

Had coilovers in the past on my Civic, they were Avo ones but had no end of trouble going through 2 sets (changed on warranty) the first set. So put me off abit. But did like that you could get the ride height just where you wanted it.
