@Hammersticks (et al) -
*Huge* thanks for a sane and sensible "Beginners guide to street suspension"!
I've got 2019 eGolf (1-year owned thus far) "comfy" but not "sporty" with unsettling underdamped behavior in dips while cornering, etc.
I guess I am trying to create my own "GT-E" (non-hybrid) - more "sport" than stock eGolf, but still street driven/driveable/family-friendly, etc. like an EV GTi or EV-R...
Keeping stock size 16" wheels but upgrading to Audi d2 Wintefelgen (Forged Fuchs) in 16x7 - about 3+lbs lighter/wheel, nice look (similar to Astana stock wheels) and perfect fit.
I knew I wanted Koni Sports, even though not for "frequent adjustment" but rather "set to preference" and "plays very well with lowering while being compliant".
Was initially thinking Neuspeed, but those are progressive and rates are *high* (260F 290R - or basically *double* front 130lb rate of eGolf) with more "drop" than desired or practical.
You and others kept mentioning "EU Eibach with Koni" is "niiiice".
Just received EU Eibach E10-85-041-04-22 non-progressive eGolf springs (with bumpstops!) from eBay site "RallyShopWorld" in Poland (yeah, I was nervous - but arrived in 3-days, UPS air, no extra freight fees/charges and all looks legit!)
Final bits are Whiteline alloy lower control arms - reduce unsprung weight and add a bit more caster. Not really looking for additional camber - just the on-center/in-corner benefits of caster.
Rear Whiteline adjustable 22mm bar (not too much change from factory 20mm) and an alignment.
>> Your (or other forum) thoughts on 225/50-16 tires vs stock 205/55 on the Audi wheels? Yes, tires are absolutely part of suspension in my opinion.
Either size in Conti DWS that I really like (actually grip, quiet and basically no range decrease from worthless Ecopia tires)
Again - Many thanks for trying lotsa stuff and posting about it! I unashamedly reference your collective experience rather than trial-n-error on my own!
