Hmmm Alfa 147 Suspensions

My Alfa 147 has eibach pro-kit springs (-30mm) and oem absorbers. I'm looking for new "sports absorbers"
I think about Bilstein B8 Sprint or KONI Sports (yellow). Which one will be better?

Re: Alfa 147 Suspensions

I have H&R springs -35mm. I used OEM dampers for 2 years and than I went for Billstein B8. It is a fantastic setup, not too hard as on a race car but very well coping with all the surprises of the road. And more comfortable than HR with OEM.

But suspension perception is very subjective, I know somebody who has Eibach with B8 and he finds it very hard. If you can, find someone with similar setup and have a test ride. Something comfortable for one, may be unacceptable for the other.
