Koni shocks or Eibach pro damper?

[rwaterman]

Ive have a non cupped 182 and am currently running Eibach pro springs.
To be honest in terms of handling I was at first a bit dissapointed when I had these fitted to the car, there was an improvment over standard but still a fair bit of roll through the corners.
Ive now decided to purchase some dampers to go with the springs but do I go for koni or eibach?
See I know the Koni's will probably be best but something is telling me Eibach dampers to match the springs I just dont want that feeling of I wish I had better...
All opinions, advice welcome
Cheers

well having had experience of koni kits for 6 years now i would say that they are great for road use, and provide good handling nice ride height and ride quality. i have had no experience of eibach so cant comment. but in my opinion if i were getting suspension again i would certainly think about coilovers

I'd be tempted to mate Eibach springs with Koni dampers from reading on here...
Have you thought of changing to Eibach Sportline springs? They'll drop your bus a little lower..

Hi thedoc im not at all tempted to swap springs for the sportline in terms of drop the pro kit is just right, its just that springs on there own at the moment still feel like its missing something???
Will fitting shocks take even more lean out of the corners?

If you're not tempted at all by the lower of the Eibach springs, then upgrade the shocks (Koni are favourite on here).. it should help you with the leaning your getting in corners.. are we talking on road here or track?

See thats the thing Doc car will probably never see a track so road me thinks all though never say never!?! lol

It definatly needs something else though regardless. All I really want to achieve is to just sweeten the non cupped 182 up a little, I want my car to remain standard looks wise, but since they have bought all these other versions of the 182 that handle so much better than mine!! + my mate has a punto GT and has gmax springs and koni shocks which feels great on the road..

Whats that springs only or shocks an all??
Dont get me wrong the ride is really cool on the pro's but I definatly feel its need shocks to match them..

You know you want uprated shocks.. just do it.
