SAL 0 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 O.K.Peeps, its time to go to the next level.....so to speak, can anyone give me a little advise on which adjustable coilovers are going to give the best ride,ive been told by a couple of vaggers that the Koni FK,s are what i should be looking at ,but i thought id put it to the forum before making a final decision any advice pleeeze.[lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1180113763_4002_FT0_vrtts_018.jpg][/lightbox] Link to post Share on other sites
mike 6 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 new wheels are lookin nice sal do you mean fk konigsports? they use koni shocks, but there simlar price to actaul koni coilovers which i want...better option as fk kist have rust/seazing isues (takes few years)some people say koni are harsh but you can udjust them to a softer setting. KW and H&R all do good kits have heard some good things about H&R ...eibach have also just baught out a kit thats not too pricey look here http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/category_sub_results.mhtml?category=suspn;sub_category=coiloverkitsvenom are cheaper for koni http://www.venommotorsport.com/ Link to post Share on other sites

richievr 1 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 i've had my fk's on for 3 years now and mine haven't siezed.... they are fine and dandy..pretty good ride quality too. Link to post Share on other sites
budgie 0 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Going thorough same s**t dudes...spent last 2 weeks on the case and came to the conclusion, konis or eibach,from awesome gti. Theres not much in the price about £35 to be precise eibach being cheaper at £600 and koni at £635.Im going for koni purely on good vibes from VR6OC and the koni reputation.Also depends on ya budget, my original budget was £400 till i started to ask around for advice, so i will just carry on rollin around in the clouds for a few more weeks and save my butt off, im nearly there and cant wait to slam the old girl ready for the summer.
