For track and daily use then definately the KonigSport.

The HighSports are probably a bit too comfortable for track use lol and whilst the car will handle well you probably want it a bit stiffer than the HighSports can offer.

On the softest setting, the KonigSports are still stiffer than HighSports though.

Shouldn't need servicing at all!!

As long as you use the sealant on the threads after adjusting the height then there's nothing that should need doing to the kits.

thanks joff! Just what I wanted to hear

I'll be looking at getting the konigsport kit later next year *hopefully* when the car is nearly ready to go back on the road again after the engine rebuild, etc...
Only thing I'm not looking forward to is all the £££'s needed, still, should be worth it in the end!!

No worries mate - hopefully I'll have them on mine in a couple of months

I was going to get the HighSport kit as my Bilsteins are way too stiff but since Kerry's HighSports are a super-comfortable ride, I think KonigSports will be fine on softest given what I've been used to

what's the £375 coilover kit from FK - the budget one - is it better than normal shocks and spring?

is it ride height adjustable too, i take it it isn't damping adjustable?

sorry for all the quests, but i've just planted my self a new job and would like to purchase new suspension for ma car!

The AK coilover kits are the "budget" kits for beginners. A very high quality kit that offers good value for money, though there is a difference in the setup compared to the Highsport kits.

They're a bad fitment on Vauxhalls as you'll need to space the wheels out - not a problem in Europe where that's the fashion, just over here where people don't want wheels that protrude past the arches!!
