Hello all,
So I think I'm going to do the H&R/Koni because I don't want to deal with adjusting etc. I like the idea of a set ride height...if anyone has any input on decision or offer up ides all for it. I think my 06 S40 2.4i will look good with Pegasus wheels just not sure on size.

Thanks in advance

 

Keep in mind you need to pair the shocks with the springs - particularly when using an after market lowering spring. Personally I've done Bilsteins so by example, their B4 is an OEM replacement, B6 is their heavy duty for stock springs and the B8 is designed for lowering springs. I'd bet Koni has a similar catalog. Good news is Tire Rack is running a Koni promo so you can call them up and ask what they'd pair with the H&Rs (ie Koni Reds or Koni Yellows etc). For your rims, check out wheel-size.com to see the factory recommendations for 17 and 18s. I wouldn't go much bigger - I have 235/45-17s on my VW CC (similar to what newer S60s use) and those are pretty wide but not super low. For your car, the biggest you'd want to go is a 7.5x18 ET50 which can run 225/40-18s or a 7x17ET52.5 running 205/50-17s...

 

I'll check that sight out and email tire rack.com...i was thinking 17 or 18 due to which will look best with a lowered car but not too low. I want to put the order in soon...I had bilsteins on my mk3 Supra and they were stiff. So not sure about those B8's, but I did see the Koni's were on sale so that's good
