Hi Guys,

Anyone has try the KW Inox Coil-overs on a Leon or Toledo?

I wonder if this will give a "very" bumpy and stiff ride.
I beleive they are height adjustable unit too.

I'm currently running on 18" 225/40 tyres and had a Sachs Sporting set, but can get quite bumpy. I love the firm ride but would prefer to be progressive, and not too bumpy

I was wondering if the coil-overs will improve the ride but not sacrificing the comfort level (at least not too bumpy)

Appreciate any advise or comments.
Thanks.

Check to see if the kit you want has progressive wound springs or not if coil over. H&R and Koni coil over kits I've seen are progressive and should ride smoother initially and firm up during cornering.

KW INOX's are equipped with progressive springs by default, very smooth ride. :D :D

Hi,

I'm looking at koni set and KW set, and was wondering which is better.

Looking towards more on the comfy side, but still want the lowering looks.:D

Any advise?
Thanks:cheers:

KW hands-down..if you didn't know, but Koni makes KW's coilover dampers, but of course by their specs. :D

Thanks.

I thought KW dampers is supplied by AL-KO ??? Actually a couple of Passat owners have told me that KW is very comfortable.

Just that the price is a bit steep, compared to Koni / Eibach.....

Will probably check out the KW tomorrow :D

Sport-dampers are made by AL-KO, coilovers are made by Koni
