i have a B5 quattro and wandring which coilover i should get ?



TEIN




KONI

 

Unless I missed something, I don't think TEIN even makes coilovers for your application.
But the KONI ones are good, great value, height/damping adjustable, so I would probably go for those.

Although, if TEIN recently came out with COs for the B5, I would probably recommend those, too. TEIN is awesome.

 

More people will tell you Koni because Tein is more popular with the Japanese guys but I can tell you they are excellent quality.

 

my friend got the top of the line TEIN on his 05 Accord and they make the car look like a million bux... if thats possible with an accord.

 

Well, do you want to say his Accord looks or rides like a million bux.

 

OH, clearly only looks... if he set it up right instead of like a pansy, I'm sure it would ride really nice too, but he has the thing dropped to the max with 19s on it, so the top of the tires can hardly be seen. Most of you would hate that look, but I used to be into the Jap tuner thing, so I appreciate it.

 

Haha, cut springs can make a car "look" like a million bucks...

seem's rather useless to buy the "top of the line" coilovers, and then put 19's on a FWD car, and drop it uselessly low.

Can you say "waste of money"? Say it with me... Waste of money.

Yep.

 

...he's asian and owns a liquor store... if that helps explain that phenomenon

 

I'm asian and I woldn't do it.

Although I do like the tein suspension. Its fairly smooth but stiff. Although I just think of the type R when I think of tein.

 

^ ^ oh I hope nobody took what I said as anything negative towards tein... I think they are a great company, have neard nothing but good things about them.

It's buying top of the line coilovers, for use on a FWD accord, with 19's, dropped so low you can hardly move it. The car will NEVER perform in any way, whatsoever -- other than in the aesthetics dept.
