so you never bought another suspension besides the KONI?
Tried several setups :
- KW DDC coilovers : too harsh could feel every detail of road surface, and spring rates not great for the car resulting in not great handling in curves; i'm not sure how they designed this kit but it didn't feel right, i had to max out the adjustment to bring the car 2cm lower than stock (wouldn't go any higher) and even then we couldn't get good balance for the car
- stock EDC dampers with ST lowering spring : too harsh, underdamped but spring rates well balanced otherwise
- Koni dampers with ST lowering springs - still too harsh and still underdamped

If i had to go for another setup i would have perhaps gone with either stock springs and Koni active, or full blown 2-way adjustable coilovers (both compression and rebound), and custom set of springs but i was looking at €4000 bill i think, so decided stop there
