Ok, living in paris (not french, thank god, just doing my studies here) and my LCR is suffering because of the crappy streats . I feel the standard suspension is really crashy it doesnt absorb anything, resulting in more and more rattling noises in the cabin . I just want to know without complication a set of coilovers that will dampen better and if possible handle better with a max 35mm drop 25mm ideal. Budget 1200Euro so like 700-800pounds thanks guys!

id definately reccomend trying a coilover car first then - if you think std is a bit harsh ?

buy a cheap citroen xm!

The Koni FSD dampers might be ideal, as - if I understand correctly - they are able to be softer with normal driving yet firmer with more spirited driving.

anyone?

Sure coils but any make that is best in general? And about those Koni FSD, thought coilovers are better? What about Eibach coils and Koni coils?

always found em to be either hard on soft set or ROCK HARD on full set but then the kit was a bit used on teh car i drove

how about changing your tyres when they are needed and use 225 45 tyres, thatll give you a bit more rubber and even things out a little.

have you considered having 17's with a higher profile tyre? i'm sure there must be a set of one inch smaller than standard wheels that will clear the brembo calipers.

Current wheel/tyre 225/40/18, rolling radius 318.6mm
New wheel/tyre 225/45/17, rolling radius 317.15mm

So when your speedo reads 70mph, you're actually travelling at 69.68mph
