Can anyone recommend the Koni STR.T's on Leon Tdi?

[jasonhanson88]

Basically...My rear shockers have pretty much gone, so decided it's time for an upgrade.

I have a limited budget, and want a fairly standard OEM feel, and slightly improved handling.

I'm not really looking to lower it too much as I quite like my ground clearance!

I've been looking around and noticed many of you have opted for the Koni FSD's/Eibach springs or coilies, but i don't think my budget can stretch to this.

Therefore, I was wondering if anyone can recommend / had experience with the Koni STR.T's? (Or a similarly priced alternative)

I've found these for £237 inc vat on Awesome.

Thanks in advance,

Jason

The STR.T kit is a good choice but another option is the JOM springs and shocks kit which we're doing for £128 at the moment...

Whats the quality of the JOM kit like compared to the Koni. Are you really just paying for the KONI name, or will it give a superior ride/ handling characteristics over the JOM's?

tbh on one of my old cars had a cheap kit on it and i changed them for a koni kit and did not feel any difference thats why ive gone for this kit

I was thinking of changing my springs soon as mine aren't brilliant. I was after improving the handling but don't want a too firm ride. Those JOM springs+shocks look ideal for that price, I've just got some new 16" alloys off a mate as i'm too skint to get proper new ones atm, so just wondering if a 40mm drop may be too much.
