Eibach Sportlines + Koni Yellow



Will post updated pix of my car with VMR V710 when I get them on.

Curious how the ride is to say koni coil overs adjusted to the same height.

I'm going away from coil overs. Currently have the Koni setup, passenger side spring is binding and clunking. Shows visible rust on the coils that are binding. The driver side spring does not have this issue. I also cannot adjust the rear damping on one shock. So I'm hoping to get warranty replacement, swap the suspension with something new and sell the koni setup.

Yeah, I had a brand new Koni coilover setup on for all of 3 days and figured that coilovers were not for me. I would never be adjusting them, and I like enough clearance to be carefree while driving. Sportline + koni yellow was perfect for me. Set and forget with little maintenance (cleaning coil threads, etc.), and no clunking. I do remember the Koni coils clunking on the passenger side like yours even when new, mostly when turning right up on an incline into a driveway or garage.

Personally I feel like the Sportline + Koni Yellow ride better than the koni coils did. It may be because Koni coils don't do as well when adjusted at the same height as the Eibach Sportline height? :iono:

Great looking cars, guys!

Does anyone have pictures of my 'unicorn', namely a 5 door gti on fifteen52 tarmacs with a beefy fitment? No tucked rim hideousness, plz.
