Yeah i heard the eibachs are good but like i say i am looking for some springs <£100 just to tide me over , tbh i dont think coilovers would be of much use to me , as i wouldn't lower my car over 50mm and even a 25mm drop looks good so i'm only wanting a drop between 30-45mm

Hmm....I'll have some Eibach Pro-Kit springs to sell soon. They've done 55k miles but that's not a problem for Eibachs.

My only reason for selling is because my KoniFSD dampers have failed and I'm taking the opportunity to upgrade to VW Racing's KWs. My KWs are on order.

Robin, can I have first dibs on your FSD's if you manage to get them replaced? :happy2:

....Certainly! IF Koni acknowledge they are faulty after they bench test them in Holland they will send me their latest FSD version as replacement. I don't know how long they will take.

I will obviously sell them cheaper than you'll get them anywhere else.

VWR have ordered my new KWs from Germany today but they are VWR KWs and not off the shelf. But they do keep in touch with me and I'll let you know what the timeframe is when I know.

:happy2:

I thought I only paid around £100 for my H&R's but maybe not then.

Robin, I know you have problems with your FSD's which is not that common - out of interest what was it?

....Slightly bouncy - We won't know exactly what the problem is until Koni bench test them. They are the early 2005 FSD version.

They're still on my car until the VWR KW's come from Germany and then they'll go back to Koni in Holland via Awesome who originally supplied them. So I don't know exactly where in Holland yet but only that Koni have a test lab there.
