well it looks like i'll be fitting them my self, just been quoted £120 for fitting ! £150 for the springs and £350 for the adjustable shocks does this seem too much? i'm sure i read somewhere on here that they should be £400 is that more like it, for this price it's cheaper to get the fk highsport coilover kit from venom,(in fact i could get the konigsport for an extra £20) how would these feel in comparison to the eibach/koni set up ?! sorry about all the questions but don't want to end up with a car that's unbearable to drive....again &| (don't buy raceland crap)

yes was thinking about top mounts,is it possible to get all the other washers and bits from the struts so i can swap them straight over as a complete unit and not faff around stripping the old struts down, presume these are available from vw as for fitting myself i know it only takes a few hours(i manged to change the mk2 rears in under an hour, did it 3 times in 1 week) but i'm a real lazy get and it's far to cold at the moment, i suppose i could wait till spring, where's the best place to get them?

i'm not 100%' date=' but i think they're the ones that don't fit over 288mm brakes (as fitted too '96 on vr6)...but at that price its worth a risk.[/quote'] i did think about that as i posted it but couldn't be arsed to delete it -
after the sale of the gti i will have some spare cash, think i'm going to have to do something about the wallowy ride, it seems that the combination of eibach springs and koni shocks are a decent combination as i don't want a crashy hard ride or so low that things start catching,(so coilovers not needed,) just had all this on the gti and don't want to go down that route again far too old for that! has anybody any opinions on this combo' and where is the best place to get them? also when i get them will it be ok to transfer the bits from the old sus' or better to get new, and how much should i

pad light is orange and in the middle of the warning lights iirc, and yes only on fronts, if your warning light is coming on when you floor it does your fluid need topping up? mine were down to metal when i got the car, &| &| [ Edited Fri Jan 28 2005, 11:47AM ]
