Also there is a choice of different make springs,never used any of those.The shock absorber choice is Meyle,Bilstein B4,Saches.
I`m after a combination of a good handling and comfort set as it is a family car.Any recommendations?

I went for the 40mm springs and standard shocks on my p2. Mainly for aesthetics as it looked like a 4x4. Handled a lot better but was pretty harsh over speed bumps and pot holes etc.

Best & most comfy are probably monroe reflex. I've run a set of Koni FSDs from box to bin - they were pretty good.
I am running bilsteins which are by far the most expensive and aggresive of the non-coilover variety.

I've always run bilsteins or koni's on previous cars, the quality & ride are usually pretty good.
Don't think I'll run standard shocks with uprated springs again as they've made the cars awful.

Bilstein B4,Shachs or Meyle?Would 30mm spring give the best of two worlds if so what make?
