FR suspension

[stephenSF]

Hello all, this is my first post so greetings.
I am thinking of getting a petrol FR but I'm a bit concerned about the firm ride. Is there anything in the way of modifications to the suspension which are worth considering?
Thanks

Are you buying new or used only reason I am asking is the new facelift models have a softer ride which still gives good handling and although I haven't driven a pre-facelift I believe the ride quality is firmer

 

[stephenSF]

Oh yes, I forgot to say, I'm buying used.

Most popular mods are the Eibach springs and the Koni FSD dampers.

So those will improve the ride? or just lower the car? or both?

 

[DamianPM]

Both Stephen.

As you may have guessed I am not that clued up about this. Is it necessary to both lower the car and improve the ride? I am only really interested in making it a bit more comfortable. Also how much all in am I looking at? With labour and all?
Thanks

your better off going for a test drive to see if the ride is bad or not for you but alot of ppl either gone for better springs Eibach and a combo of shocks Koni FSD

 

[DamianPM]

Yeah I'd drive the car first to see what you think it needs and then decide but you could just go for the dampers if you wanted.
