Tigz™ Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 QUOTE(Bikerz)Whats the best?Best for what mate?Come one dude, tell us what you are wanting from them.For instance, FKs use Koni shocks, but just use FK springs.Now as we know, Koni make 'better' springs than FK? Depends what your looking for.A Koni spring on a Koni shock, will give a better ride, than a FK spring on a Koni shock.but a Koni spring will only allow a -70mm drop, so for me a FK spring/Koni shock was the 'Best' for me.

Snoopy Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 The Bilstein PSSs are really highly rated, Bill uses them on his Ibiza (~370bhp) and the Golf guys swear by them too. Don't know anyone who has them on the Lupo though, probably because they cost so much style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N14L VW Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 so what coilovers would you say were best then fk?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshirt2k Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Fk's are good most people probably wouldn't be able to tell the differnce between different makes. From what i have it seems as if they have matched the springs and shocks well on the lupo. It doesn't bottom out or rattle your fillings out, and you can adjust the stiffness to your hearts content.

DanGTI Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 also noticed in PVW cost of FK's has come down a bit from venom - £379 now for highsport, I think £519 for Konigs - both with delivery included. to me thats a decent price for a recognised brand (instead of 'Supersport' and the like).

Tigz™ Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 QUOTE(Weeman)So do the fk allow -70mm + on both front and rear?To be honest mate, I think that is the lowest they are recomended.I had mine (well do again as of today) -110mm all round, which is the lowest the front will go, and the lowest the rears will go after you take off the ajuster ring.I think they may only be TV approved up to -70mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezza Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Seems Bilstein are now doing a proper kit `non-coilover` kit for the Lupo. Its just come out apparently. The coilover kit is 750+vat. thats a lot of cash but they ARE the best period. the non coilover is 534. seems sportline kit was not available for the GTI. so now they've sorted it. not cheap though.I was told that a lot of these kits are 'boxed up' in the UK by the UK importers. (koni,bilstein). They use Uk sourced springs and decent shocks. This new bilstein kit is ALL german. matched and correct. but not adjustable. Ok for me if you want a fit and forget setup.If anyone wants to know where to get this new billy kit (or can find it cheaper than 534. I reckon it should be 350) then let me know!!

Tigz™ Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Give Autoconcepts a call. 01202 868833Tell them your from Club Lupo, and see if they can better the price.Im sure a few guys would be intrested in these, if they could be had under £400.

tshirt2k Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 The holes that are used to mount the struts are meant to be elongated. the left side wasn't. so i enlarged it so it was the same as the right hand side, using a drill and a file, took half an hour. now i have 1 and a tiny bit degrees -neg camber. instead of 2.5 on the left hand side. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
