Default Koni SA shocks and Hotchkis springs?

Just wondering if anyone was running this set up and what they thought about it? Or should I just go with Bilstiens? Thanks

excellent setup. you dont even need hotchkis springs if you plan on lowering the car though, the SA has two spring perch mountings so you can drop the car with the stock springs. Either way, its a great combo.

I have BMR springs with Koni SAs. I know BMR and Hotchkis springs aren't the same but I like my setup

If you go with these we might as well start looking for a donor car to do an A4-M6 swap and go road racing with it.

Anyone else? I'm still leaning for these Konis. And D, I don't know about making my car go slower with an M6 swap.

If you can afford the Koni's get them. I lowered my front by an inch just by installing on the lower setting. If you don't like it just reinstall. Can't get any easier to lower a car than that.

There's no comparison in ride quality between the stock decarbons shocks and Koni SA's + lifetime warranty.

Call Sam at Strano. He will set you up.

I have koni Sa with hotchkis springs and the ride is great and so is the handling. They lower the car about 1 1/8" all around I think it the perfect stance.

Koni's SA's and Hotchkis springs are what I am going to do. That set-up seems to be a very happy median between stock and race.

Yeah I have the Hotchkis and Koni SA combo. I think you will be very happy with that setup. I had a Pro Kit and stock shocks and they pale in comparison to this combo. Do this and a good alignment and it'll rail.

This sounds good to me! Now which one of our wonderful sponsors carries these konis at a good price? If none do, someone please PM me with an alternative. Thanks.
