what damper and lowring springs are you guys using please state the make and how the ride feels thanks for you help

Meister R .... totatlly Adjustable from soft to hard and can be adjusted for ride height

when there on soft is the ride still harsh

KYB AGX adjustable shocks and Eibach springs. Popular fitment. Very happy with ride quality and performance. 0.8" drop ride height.

whats the price on the kyb dampers and who stocks them

I ordered mine from CZP in the US:

They also come for sale s/h on here and on ebay.

how much import tax did you pay

Don't recall, but it would have been the standard rate on the 'declared' value.

I just used a import tax thing and it comes to just shy of£600 landed in the uk

This site seems to be useful:

Eibachs over KYBs were always popular years ago due to cost & availability of coil overs. I would prob just go Meister R coil overs now days.

always found a full coil over very harsh ride great on a track but not on a road car

Tokico gas shocks and Eibach springs, seems fairly comfy and positive and with whiteline anti roll bars front and back hardly any roll round the bends.

My fronts actually are now stock dampers but still with Eibach springs after mullering one side due to a pothole in the road :thumbdown:

how about koni dampers

a lot stiffer than what you have now Dan

mite get them but it comes to £460 for the set

that would get you a very good set of used coilovers mate and be able to alter your ride height...thats what ide do iff i was spending £460

you would proberly find new oem shocks would be spot on. don't forget most zeds are running on the genuine ones that are 20 years old :(

the issue i have with coil overs is the harsh ride i have done this on other cars and always regreted it was its to ride ok but just handle a bit better

I'm on KYB AGX shocks and stock springs. I've had my share of slammed to the floor cars and tbh they are a pain in the arse, quite literally. Yes they handle better but the ride quality is horrible especially on our crappy roads.

kyb with say lower spring would be more comfey than say a full coil overs wouldn't it

A lot of people use the kyb's with eibach springs that only lower around 20mm. Seems a good compromise to me. Stance looks better, holds in the corners a bit better and doesn't hurt your butt so much.
