6n2 Suspension Upgrade!

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a suspension upgrade for my 6n2. Currently on budget TA Technix coilovers which have done the job until now, but I'm looking for something more comfortable and with the ability to go lower.

I've got around £500 to spend so I've been looking at the:

I know that running coilovers you sacrifice comfort, but mine is getting to the point where I'm kinda embarrassed to give people a lift.

All suggestions welcome :)

Thank you.

Anyone?

I've always found coilovers too harsh, especially for west of Ireland roads, so this time I went for a h&r cup kit (60mm drop). Look it up. I bought it on eBay.de I'm happy with it but it might not be low enough for you.

Ah thanks, I'll have a look at those. Do you have a picture of how it sits?

I dunno how to upload a pic?

I've just bought some APEX RDX's to replace my ebay specials.

AP coils are meant to be good, Weitec Hicon GTs are another set and if you want to Stretch SPAX RSX's are meant to be pretty decent.

Thanks Jonny, those look pretty nice! Let me know how they are? I'm torn between the Spax RSX' and the ST Suspension ST X.

£200 diff between the two :/ and not sure how much adjustable damping will actually benefit me.

From what a few friends have told me adjustable is really best for the track. For road use the standard 30% is decent.

Will do, hopefully here before I do the 3000 miles for Worthersee.

Yea that's what I thought. I don't go to tracks so from that point it'd be wasted, but obviously having adjustable damping will allow you to go softer for those really dodgy roads, but wether it's worth the extra 200 I don't know :/

I guess more research is in order...
