oh rite i get it,so if its not for the Gsi it will lower after deducting the standard 15mm it has already,BUT does this apply if im getting a Full suspension Kit???
is Koni available in a 50mm kit for the Gsi??
otherwise i jus get a 60mm kit n go extra slow over the speed bumps!
wats main difference between adjustable and fixed shocks tho?
will it b worth the extra money and going for the adjustable?
Thans for the info guys, really helpfull

Ive got the Koni red kit (-40mm) on my sxi, handles like its on rails.
The red kits about 100 quid cheaper than the yellow on car adjustables, only difference is u have to strip them off the car to adjust them.
Top quality kit tho.
It seems a bit lower than 40mm, maybe 45-48mm.

The main difference between adj and non adj shocks is u get to choose how soft or stiff u want to go.
If u dont want it stiff then the non adj would be ok.
If u want it stiff (better handling IMO) then get the adj.
If u want to switch between the 2 then pick the yellow adj.
Hope this helps

If u want to switch between the 2 quickly then pick the yellow adj.

yeah the yellow kit is on car adjustable, just turn a knob under the bonnet, takes all of 3 seconds to do

rah, i like the sound of "on car adjustable" so all i hav to do is open the bonnet and turn it to make stiffer or softer! coudnt be easier!
so the yellow kit it is then
so how much will it cost roughly for a Koni 60mm kit for a Gsi??
Thanks
