Shocks and Coils!

Evening all!

My S1 has done 35 K on the original Koni damper setup. Just wondering what can be reasonably expected from them… Car feels and handles fine… but nothing to compare it with!!!

Do I replace, how should I decide if it is required, and if so, with what! ‘Shocked’ today finding out that replacing the OEM Koni with the same setup is circa � 260 per corner… nearly more than Nitrons!

What is the feeling about Bilstein (Are they not used on the S2 Exige) or others???.. Or can I get the Koni rebuilt?

Just bouncing a few questions about!!

Many thanks for your suggestions,

Pete.

Get yourself a used set of S2 shocks and springs or just buy a set of Nitrons.

did not think the S2 setup fitted the S1??? I gather this is the Bilstein.

They do with the proper upper bracket mounts, but if it were me I would just go with the Nitron set up.
