Advice needed! Suspension

[jpk88]

hi all,

Just trying to decide how to upgrade my em1 suspension as its stock at the mo!
Debating between:

EK9 standard suspension and shocks,

or to buy Eibach Prokit springs and fit them with standard shocks.

Anyone got an opinion on which is the better option??

Will be road daily use and hopefully the very odd trackday lol!

thanks

been running ek4 shocks and eibach springs for the last 2000 miles and i think they are great.... just don't go low enough at the back.

the front drop is perfecttly level with the top of the tire like a 2 mm gap but the rear arches are a good 40 - 50 mm away rom the tire.

can't say i've tried OEM EK9 suspension... EM1 weighs more than EK9 so not sure how well it would work, would be better than stock but not designed for that car so ??? dunno really

have a look in my gallery for ride height pics

ok thanks the reply mate!

EK9 dampers are a fair bit stiffer than the EK4s, and the higher rear rates will go well on the EM1s fat arse.

sounds good thanks! better value buying a second hand set of springs and shocks anyway, an will leave me with spares! just gotta find a nice set now
