[Mk2] [Turbo] Coilover Advice
I am in need of replacing my rear coilovers on my mk2 rev 2 turbo, it currently has teins on them but the rears are leaking and are pretty knackered, what are your guys recommendation on which coilovers to get? I will be going on tracks a few times and year but mostly driving on the road. Cheers

I have TEIN's on my car with much lighter spring rates
Front 170lb
Rear 280lb
It handles very well.

Running BC's with the 4/6KG spring option. Need to raise mine a little as it's a tad too low for the amount of movement the springs allow - I'm wearing holes in the front arch liners!
Been happy with them so far, about 50-60k miles in over 2 years. I'd like to try one with the 5/8KG springs fitted and see what the difference actually is.

HSD monopro, 6/10kg springs, I've had 3 sets of HSD's on different cars now and for the money there's nothing better (in my opinion)
Personally I think the 6/10 springs are ideal for the car, I've got my dampers set to 6/16 stiffness and the ride is firm but not bouncy or crashy. They monopro' also have camber adjustable top mounts too which is very handy.

I have a set of KYB Gymkhana coilies for sale in the next couple of weeks. The last MOT indicated the fronts were a mist or little damp - looked fine to me and drove fine but being fair selling for £200. Just an option to get you going back on the road cheaply if interested

Thanks for the responses guys, what do you think about Meister Rs? Heard some good reviews equally the HSDs don't seem to have any faults.
