  • Bilstein b12 pro vs sportline vs koni sport vs street -mk3 Vr6-review/photos please

    HI there everyone,

    after some honest opinions regarding the above kits. and any pics of anyone fitting them to their vR

    b12 pro eibach 30mm
    b12 sportline eibach 45-55

    have heard they are a bit rough and I am now pushing towards 40 so comfort is a factor

    Koni str-t (street) can get for 1100 but not adjustabe 30mmlowering
    koni sport fully adjustable can get 1699 adjutable rate and rbound externally

    cant find any info from real people and/or any pics showing stance. I have standar on back atm and older koni yellow sports on front (adjustable but one is buggered due to hex bit snapping off on attempt to dissasemble to fit new upper mounts)

    I have no idea wht springs on front but I assume lowered as the stance is nowhere like standardClick image for larger version

    Someone must have tried this combo, maybe not on the vr6, or maybe just the eibach springs or just the shocks.

    Anyways would appreciate any input

      Don't expect them to lower it, the car looks like it's already sagged a bit or got lowered suspension in it

        Have the koni streets on my civic. Assume same thing. They actually have 3 spots to mount perches. And the perches can be flipped to get even lower. They are a comfortable ride. But don't have the easy change of height as coilovers. If you are happy with a reduction in height and not wanting an exact height they will be fine.

        I paid $58 a corner for the shocks from a koni dealer.

          Can you get the yellows fixed / replaced, personally I think they are just about the bet you can get for a road car

              Very nice MK2 - we have a MK2 too but looking a little sadder than this. I ended up getting an older koni sport kit with front adjustables and 35mm drop which now I am a little worried about looking at this photo. What size rims are these. I have 15' on th emk 2 and there is way more clearance than this with bilstein standards.

              I am hoping these arent too low (blasphemy I know) but I dont want to scrub out potenzas.

              ANyways let me know.


              And thanks to people that responded

                Those prices sound high

                Where are you shopping?

                I bought a full set of Koni Sport a few years back when the dollar was stronger for my Mk5 chassis. $800 delivered from ECS. Even with the drop in the $ they'd be pushing to nudge $1200 - or maybe we are talking different items?

                  sportline eibach. Lowered a bit lower than your image, and they are so comfy, if not even a better ride than your OEM springs!
                  Love them, would never pick a fault in them. Chuck them in your stock springs and you're running a setup that only costs you $300.
