DJB_Harvey Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 160LB semi fast road C Witor spec give good all round usability . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sorbington Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I fitted some 160lb/in springs on mine. They were fine.Don't underestimate the importance of the dampers though. My springs came as part of a complete recon strut assemblies from Witor but I never felt the new dampers supplied were quite able to keep the stronger springs in check.A decent set of adjustable dampers would allow you to optimise your set up to suit your new springs, car and preferences.

Nick Jones Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Witor does progressive rate ones now. I found these a considerable improvement. However, I do think the front is under-damped in spite of the new standard dampers.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB_Harvey Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I've been thinking about some Koni front adjustables for a while now ... Anybody used them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'd like some. I just don't have a spare kidney at present! The KYB ones seem quite regarded though not adjustable.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piman Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hello DJB, I have Konis all round and I'm very happy with them, they have been fitted for about ten years.(With C. W. high rated springs)Alec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Koni are great - much superior ride than KYBsKYBs with uprated springs are all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
