   Im thinking about investing in some koni springs.
   
   I only want to lower 30mm, on the info it says that the Koni springs lower
   35mm on all models except the vts which will be 25mm.
   
   Why the 10mm difference ?
   
   Would i be smarter to buy the eibach ?
   
   Thanks.

   answer to the first part is there different springs andfor some reason they did the S 1's higher.lol
   The answer to the secong part is yes. i would say either set of eibachs would be better.

   eibach make some of the best quality springs.. I've used them on my cars for about 4 years now. Before that I used H&R which were very good also

   the spring is universal, there is just one code for all models, i dont understand why it would lower a vtr more than a vts

   Ive got these on my VTR (springs and dampers) and they lower it just enough to keep the ride fairly comfortable.
   
   Its just a subtle amount, which looks much better than sitting on its arse!

   I believe VTR and VTS Saxo's are lowered 10mm as standard so they will only be lowered 25mm i guess to match the other cars of lower groups. Plus don't get Koni springs, I have had them and they aren't any good at all in my opinion. Far too expensive, go for Eibach like people have suggested or Spax.

    Nothing at all wrong with Spax mate, I have Spax on my car, and they are great!
