H&R Cup with a Stage 3 Subframe

[Justin14100]

All I want is something that is taught, yet not so crashy on the bumps, Bilstein or H&R, I wonder what would be best? Does anyone on here run the Bilstein kit?

Drove round Europe with that setup did 4k miles and as you well know the roads are epic and really give the car a good all round work out! So glad I'd put that kit on rather than my kw's only because they had my 15mm lowering top caps on and the only thing that saved the ally sump was the subframe stopped it cracking open like a peach!

Did you run the KWs with the stage 3 Saf? I havent put that kit on yet (bloody cars not even on the road!) so havent been able to compare the ride to the current set up, which I think will be far too soft by the sounds of it. Are the lowering top caps a no-no too?

Does anyone on here run the Bilstein kit?

i have the bilstein dampers inside my coilovers.

Justin what drop you looking at? I want my wheel to sit in the arch on a 50/55 profile.

I would get the bilstein kit i mentioned but i dont think it will go as low as that.

Are you deciding between H&R and KW 60mm kit?

[Justin14100]

Its already on about a 60mm drop ala the H&R and its a nice height, can be a bit low sometimes though. Now that the H&R kit is around £350 I think thats going to be the way forwards.

Going to look into making a mount to fit a 205 GTi roll bar onto the strut too.

[Jezza-7]

That will be good.

I might get that kit as well. Might order it this week.

Justin, keep us updated on the roll bar front. I'm going to see how the KW kit with stage 3 handles, but may be into a roll bar if it all gets a bit wobbly!
