Tig Suspension
Today two parcels arrived to our door step It is also time to take out my Eibach Pro Kit spring set as well!
Boxes contain Koni Yellow Sports front and rear shocks with rebound adjustability.
With these installed I hope to lower the car around 35mm and improve the handling and comfort. Also I like to test the shocks with set of H&R springs as well so if someone has a set of H&R springs for Tig please let me know

i have Koni Yellows with Eibach Pro-Kit on the Octavia. Beautiful ride control - especially initial movement. No stiction like the Bilsteins get.
My mate has them on his polo with stock springs - transformed the vehicle.
Recomend half a turn off soft as a starting point.carandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic

Keen to see some before and after pictures of the ride height and your feedback on the adjustability.Comment

Thanks team_v, I will! I am also thinking of running few logs with an accelerometer before and after so that we can get some quantitative measure of the ride comfort. I can do that with stock and different damping settings with Koni's so we can compare. With this all smartphones with accelerometers and gyros with all the apps in the market logging is easier than ever before!Originally posted by team_v View Post

These are the part numbers for Tiguan specific Koni Sport Yellow shocks..
For the front - KONI 8741-1546 SPORT
For the rear - KONI 8040-1395 SPORT
Both front and rear can be rebound adjustable. but rear shocks need to be removed from the car to adjust.2013 Tiguan 155kW DSG | Leather | Bi Xenon's | Park Assist 2.0 | Panoramic Sunroof | RCD 510 | RVC | MDI

Should be perfect combo mate
The Eibach Pro-kit springs work well and the Koni yellows seem to be best for rebound control - like MGV just waiting to wear out OE shocks before replacing mine with them also

Yeah OK. It took me a couple of weeks to get the Haldex controller in so I guess I'll let you off this time.Originally posted by Ramee View Posthaha! I don't have tools yet to do it so called pedders but they could not give an answer straight away. So may be next week.
Sometimes you have to weigh up the cost of buying the tools vs getting the parts fitted in a workshop. I ended up getting all my suspension parts fitted.

Sometimes you can remove the bottom bolt & compress the damper insitu to go into adjustment mode - might save undoing the two top boltsOriginally posted by Ramee View Postcarandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic
