years ago I used to put Kmac in my cars and everytime I jacked the car the springs would fall out. but last time I checked for a mate of mine mk3 Gl,H&R springs were roughly $500.

Wow thats bd luck!!!

Out of curiosity Steve, how low is your VR6 sitting compared to stock? And was it just springs that you replaced?
.

I'm pretty sure that its sitting at about 2 inches lower not sure but you will see it on Sunday. When I first got the car it had koni adjustable shocks. The springs at the front were f@#%, when I would turn the wheel it would cause them to make a knocking sound. This was because of the spring was not adjustable as the shock and when it was compressed it made the knocking noise and didn't work like a coilover spring should work. Went to K-mac and they made adjustable ones for me and then put them on. I got the same height as what they used to be but now they don't knock when I turn the wheel and lock it

Alrighty. Bought myself an early birthday present.

Koni Specials (reds) with Koni 1020 Sport Springs. My preference in ride comfort over outstanding handling made my decision to go for reds over yellows.

Cost was $1060 all up, which I thought was fairly good considering they're new and are Konis. Springs were only $330, "upto 45mm lowering". Got them from GT Suspension. Service was OK, not great, but then again I could only talk to them over the phone (located in Victoria, I'm in Sydney). I asked about their Koni coil-over systems and they are selling them at ~$2700. It was free shipment too (spend over $750) and they arrived a day after I ordered them:



Will fit them on together with a new set of rims when I get them. Hope I made the right decision to go with Konis.

Do Mk2's rub on the wheel arches as bad as mk1's? My first mk1 was terrible and i want to get a set of lowered springs for the gti but dont like tyre rub one bit. King springs are rated to 30mm drop those koni's are 45mm.

I think you need to get progressive rate coils??

After a few 1k km's they will drop more as well

Make sure you change the strut top mounts as well !!

might just hang off and get a coilover kit, would be the smarter option in the long run.
