*All suspension setups are paired with Neuspeed Koni Yellow shocks*
What are they:
These springs are made from a reputable company with experience in suspension primarily in German vehicles but also in other imports. Neuspeed springs boast an aggressive, raked look. Race springs state a drop of roughly 2 inches in rear a little lower in front.
Price:
Bought them new for $145.
Review:
This is my 6th suspension setup and my favorite thus far. Upon installation the car sat low in the rear (about 2 fingers gap) and high in the front (3.5 fingers gap). After lowering it via Konis, it now sits at 2 finger gap all around. This is by far the best setup I have ever had on the car. With this setup I can actually let other people drive my car (such as my dad) and not have to worry about telling them to avoid potholes or being scared that they may scrape the bottom of the car on something. I can clear all speedbumps and I
have not bottomed out yet on potholes. I have been purposely hitting
stuff ever since I got this setup just to see what it can take and what it
can't. So far I have hit everything fast except for speedbumps and curbstyle
driveways. I just can't bring myself to do it and so I still creep over or
up them although I don't see any reason why I wouldn't be able to just
take them no problem. My ride is smooth and controlled. There are times when
I am in a parking lot that has uneven and broken road where there may be a
little more rebound than wanted...but it is probably my only con I can think of
and right now I am really trying to think up cons. The pros far outweigh the
cons on this setup. I love this setup. I would only wish it to be a tad
stiffer but that may be the fact that I just need to turn the dial on
the shocks some more because I still have at least a half turn to go before
I am at full firm. At the softer setting I have it at now, it is still a
confident,firm, and very smooth ride. compared to stock the ride is
smoother although the OEM setup was softer and therefore may be confused
for being smoother in certain situations.
I have been through a couple sets of coilovers, Eibach Pro Kit, H&R sports,
Neu. Sports, and by far this is the best setup and I am ANAL when it comes to suspension.
Pros:
Car sat how I wanted. Ride quality was better and smoother than stock and smoother than the Sport springs. One of my favorite spring setups. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic matched spring/shock setup.
Cons:
I just wish it was a tad firmer but that is just the racer in me talking.
