Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Suspension anybody NOT using konis with GC coilovers?

trying to get some feedback from those of you who chose not to use konis with your ground controls...

anybody on spax non-adjustable or bilstein?

I'm wonderin this too

PM ov3n

he's running GC's with KYBs

ouch

havnt heard much good about those, heard 10-15K at most, we'll have to see how long his last

If you like they ride similar to a kiddy-kastle!

Gas shocks will sh!t the bed in no time with GC's. The spring rate is so much higher than regular springs that it overheats the seals in gas struts and they wear faster as a consequence.

In a nutshell it's ghetto and you look like a ridiculous ricer going down the road with you car and head bouncing around like a bobble-head doll.

whats the difference between a gas strut vs. a koni...arent they both gas, but the koni is adjustable?

i'm considering the new spax adjustables too (i know there's a forum for that already) but nobody has any experience with those because they're so new.

are you the creator of the stazi mesh? if so, thank you...i just bought a set from a ceg'er in canada, the mesh is a work of art.

would you be interested in fabbing me some of the same mesh for the fog light holes on the svt bumper? i thought about doing it myself but i'd rather it match the mesh i already have.

TIA

1)Koni are oil struts
2)SPAX adjustables - yeah ok, show some that exist for the CDW-27
3)Yes I make the Aussie/Stazi mesh
4)If it's the small opening mesh, I have just enough for the fog holes, but that's about it. PM me.

1)Show me someone who has them
2)Show me a VW owner who bought them that hasn't complained about them blowing out in a years time.

Basically ,I wouldn't touch them with an 8ft pole.
