Advice on Coils....H&R, Koni, or BG

RMerch · 10-18-2007, 11:52 AM

If you have to buy coilovers for your car and could choose from Koni's, BG RS Line's, or H&R?

What would you pick?! narrowed it down to these 3 options.

Koni for the Name. BG for the ability. H&R for audi presitge.

Dont know much about BG as a coilover company, never really heard of them I guess, but after reading review from owners with them, they REALLY like them. Love the fact it'll go lower then any other coilover system for car show purposes but still handles good for local track days and canyon driving.

Know that Koni is a common name in the suspension world with high quality products.

H&R is sort of an Audi trademark almost for lots of cars, seems to be one of the better produced Coilovers, although their new ones are a little pricey, close to the range of PS99's.

Just want to know what everyone thinks. Placing an order tomorrow. But just let me know your opinions. Drawbacks?

Basically, need to gather and decide what to get in a very short amount of time after narrowing it down to basically a few companies.

H&R
Koni
BG RS Lines
(Possibly Billstein, although for what they do, i feel I wouldnt' get the most use out of them)

Use the car as a daily driver, would like to do some track events, but unfortunatly I need a quick decision made seeing as I've drawn this process out for months upon months already as it is. Basically just need to pick something and decide on it.

Thanks for all input, greatly appreciated.

valvings) perfect for the northeast in terms of corrosion, almost zero body roll, the car runs tight but yet doesn't get much harsher than stock sport. i love it!

We have specifically designed the StartupRacing Gran Turismo kits to eliminate understeer but yet remain quite compliant. We offer, both street and track spring rates.

The trick is a set of stiffer rear springs that allow for more weight transfer to the rear.

If you really want an adjustable kit - we offer them as well.

We also guarantee ultimate performance on these kits, if you are not outhandling any other A3s... send them back.
