can i fit standard springs to my Koni dampers? I'm currently sitting ~ 50mm closer to the deck with konisand selex springs, as iv'e said before the handling/ride quality is terrible! before i lowered my car it had newish std shocks and springs but craved for a better setup, now i want to go back to std ride height but with my adjustable konis Have been considering Sachs springs from ECP |

yes, of course, I ran standard ZX16v springs on my konis.Sachs are not o.e though, Peugeot made Peugeot springs. Eibach's work well. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

what was the 'ride quality' like? Obviously going to be harder than std shocks. I liked the factory setup but need something better but not too harsh. Iv'e only got a 110bhp ish hdi engine to play with just now, but 'one' day my gti6 turbo engine will be completed so need a decent suspension setup to cope with that as well. |

difficult to compare, as they were 122k mile originals! not harsh at all, didn't feel "hard" that'd be the springs.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

The above is why I'd be interested to compare a new standard gti6 setup to a eibach and Bilstein combo.________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |
