Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
On my C2 I have H&R lowering springs together with Koni special actives which were recommended by Centre Gravity but they are still long body and although I love them you can tell they have rebound issues in some circumstances.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Since my ownership I have replaced all the suspension arms front and rear (last 12months) and now I'm about to do the shock absorbers, Ive gone with Bilstein B4's including all new nut, bellows etc but one thing I have not considered is the springs. Part of me says keep the originals due to cost the other part of says change them everything else is new. I am looking at either Eibach or H&R lowering springs. Will they fit ok on the Bilstein sand any potential issues I should be aware of. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

If the springs are ok I'd leave them personally (although if they are really tired and you are changing other stuff ...), as far as lowering springs, if you lower springs you should have shocks with shorter bodies (B8s), as you have already bought the shocks I'd stick with standard. On my C2 I have H&R lowering springs together with Koni special actives which were recommended by Centre Gravity but they are still long body and although I love them you can tell they have rebound issues in some circumstances.

POST 3Original post

Keep the standard springs if they are still in good shape and don't want to lower the car. If you lower the car by >30mm be prepared for potential issues will geometric alignment (rear camber) unless you have adjustable toe arms. Having said that Vogtland springs have more gentle spring rate than Eibach/H&S so might be worth a go and cost less last time I looked.

POST 4Original post

I'm considering this and keeping the existing shocks/springs. Did it make a substantial difference to the ride?
