twisty b-road Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 I've got fixed damping rate H&R on mine. Seem the same price as the Eibach. They are ace. You won't go wrong with any of these I think. :thumbs: It's like buying a new car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo TDI Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 KW variant 3 is the overkill....I have the Koni kit, ant I must say I'm happy with them. They're hart as hell, that's true, but damn, my Loop holds the road like nothing else style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> And they should be fine with the GTI, as the TDI I have is abour 200 kgs heavier...

Max Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 I only fitted my FK konigsports at the weekend so i'm still in my honeymoon period with them. But I have to say, I love them more than a fat kid love cake style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Word of warning mate. When i initially made my coilover enquiries the Eibach ones were not height adjustable at the rear. I think the kits you looked at my be the new range but still worth checking.I have had my FK/ Koni kit for 7000 miles now and they are still as amazing as ever. Also they still look shiney and polished as you get a sealer spray with the kit so it doesnt get all corroded and oxidised.Cant fault H&R though as they are awesome as well. Would reccommnd adjustable damping though as i found i had to adjust the damping abit at first as the front was abit soft and bouncy on fast roads.
