Try taking a minute to collect your thoughts, and put it all into one post. There's no need to make multiple posts in succession - it's messy.

I don't know what you mean by - it's messy??? You make thing more complicated! He didn't post everything in one post is it? Is the anything has been mentioned in FAQ to begin with? Also is the posts wit 8 pages look tidy to you?

Thanks

When my ‘2 was my daily, I went through a couple of setups. My favourite was Koni Sport shocks paired with H@R springs (the Koni SUper Sport Kit). Not the cheapest option but great ride and good handling.

I also liked the standard black billies paired with Eibach Pro springs.

Crashiness usually entirely down to springs being too hard / not progressive in my experience.

Just remember the UK shocks aren't built with lowering in mind so they may not last as long on a lowering spring unlike the konis.

But if the car isn't gonna be yer all year round daily driver it probably won't matter too much.
