One of the shocks on my '99 A3 has finally given up, so it's time to replace them all with something better.

Looked long and hard for something good but not ridiculously expensive. The Blistein coilovers and the like that seem to be the highest recommended are circa £700-800 - so no chance!

Like the look of the Koni SRT sports shock, but have heard they are very VERY hard.

So basically I'm looking for suggestions. Sport shocks/ coilovers with matching springs, lower by about 40mm and circa £300-350.

Ideas?

Just ordered these:

VMaxx coilovers, for £350 (and £50 for the droplinks). Seem to get good reviews and look good, so hopefully they'll do the trick!

Got the VMaxx coilovers fitted (along with new rear bushes) and first impressions are excellent. I've got rid of all knocking noises and the ride is still firm without being harsh.

So all in all well worth the money! Though I've not had a blast round some A and B Roads as yet.
