Koni coilovers

[gareth_oau]

I now have a set of fully adjustable Koni Coilovers in my S3. These are currently retailing in UK for £950, which would probably be around $1M retail in Oz!!

Purchased them secondhand of an Ozaudi member.



Had it installed by a suspension shop for $350 incl wheel alignment.

Its been dropped about 45mm all round and sits with a 10mm gap to the tyres.

The rebound settings are very firm and i can feel all the undulations and irregularities in the road surface, but its still rides a lot better over the bigger bumps - the OEM suspension really crashed hard over the same bumps.

Of course, it look 1000% better as well!

Next on my shopping list, a set of 18" rims

I had a set of these on my mkv. Even with them set very low and quite stiff they were extremely comfortable compared to other coilover setups ive seen. Nice compromise for a daily driver really.

apologies guys, got a bit distracted this weekend and didnt have a chance to take a photo - will try again another time

[gareth_oau]

as promised, a quick foto - not a good one tho

but the konis now show how undersized the wheels are, both diameter and width

note the cameraman is useless!!

Looks good and sounds good, I'm jealous we didn't get that version of the A3 here!
