Do you have a link to the exact package you got?
Strange there are several different listings for a mk5 golf how do I know what one to pick?
Mine is DSG if that makes a difference?

I measured my suspension ie 49mm instead of gti 54 then I matched the codes on fk site to venom motor sports site ie my art number was below going by the art numbers as others are for golf plus and gti below is the 49 mm diameter strutt

Sound like a noob here with my post count but would they fit eddie struts? I wouldnt mind to try for the price
-
Am clueless but I just checked spec and they matched codes and sizes of struts so I bought them as there same in both sites so hope they fit lol

Lads could you post the link to the kit to order for 06 gti with DSG?
I'm confused as to which is right for my car!

Going off the gti's strut diameter of 55mm,
looking on venom's site: http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=13017&manufacturer=FK&category=Suspension
the part number is: FK99AI081
so search for that with fk and you get:

The FK High Tech kits are FK’s premium budget sport suspension kit....so don't hold your breath lol
-
Seems like some very cheap prices, do u really get what u pay for with FK? Only need dampers as mines are a bit worn & was gonna match them to my VWR springs OR is it a better idea to get the full high tec kit lol
-
^^^ you can get better quality of stuff. I want weitec coilovers but silverlines are only currently £270 which is a bloody bargain!
-
How do these "premium budget" kits compare to the standard GTI coils and dampers? Obviously they are lower, but is it worth it if the ride and handling is compromised?

X2
Has anyone got any experience of this kit?
How do they ride? Or are they just terrible..?
-
I would stick with standard dampers and get lowering springs of a good quality
-
Not sure like but at 253 pounds that's deer so getting a discount to 73 is decent so not sure how gd they are but at 253 they should be ok better than what I have already haha

My mate had FK's on his mk4. They fell apart after a few months :sad1:
-
For all I use my car should get a year out them :)
Think next year set of bilstein like my mate has

I'm not sure £253 could be considered dear for a coilover kit! I'd say suspiciously cheap actually!
-
It's not coilovers I bought was just just shocks and 40mm lowering springs :) had coilovers in my starlet was715 for them and was hard as hell so never buying coilovers again

Ah, understood!
Does anyone know how long standard dampers normally last?

The FK High Tech kits are FK’s premium budget sport suspension kit....so don't hold your breath lol
The ones you have linked to on FK's site have a part no FK99AI181
Same as these http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=13018&manufacturer=FK&category=Suspension
Which are for a 50mm strut as that's what we orderd for chris's car
They also have spacers and other parts heavily reduced
And to be honest you can't really grumble at a full suspension kit for £80 deliverd
Just do your homework and make sure they are suitable for you
For £80 its even worth buying if you have an expensive kit fitted to your car and keep them to fit for when you sell your car
I have a bilsten b12 kit on my car but if I was on a budget I would seriously consider these or even the silver lines
-
:) yeah just need something cheap as with what's on ate super low and sh*te we my 19s :( so 80 delivered for sports shocks and 40mm lowering is a bargain just need to raise car up a bit for the now till I can afford bilstein :)
Cheers Baz yeah cheap n cheerfull for the now lol

Spent the last hour trying to order the kit but it wont let me, keeps saying my address is invalid :stupid:
Im so annoyed

-
So how are we meant to find out what size the kits are? Ive searched all over the website for more details but cant see any way to check, if i need 55m kit then the A3 kit wont fit will it?
How hard would it have been to put the strut size on there :stupid:
-
im ordering the fk highsport coilovers for my 1.9tdi (FKVW44) 50mm strut £220.15 bargain considering how much everywhere else sells them for over £400+

Has anyone received their coilovers or suspension kits yet?!
-
Mines left Germany yesterday :) tracked and traced :)
-

-

-
This deal seems to be back up again
-
Mines arrived :-) getting fitted after the snow next year :)
-
had coilovers in my starlet was 715 for them and was hard as hell so never buying coilovers again
....It depends on which brand of coilovers, how adjustable they are and how well they are set up (it's not just about going low). How good your car's chassis is probably makes a difference too. What's a "starlet"? Jap?
You won't go wrong with Bilstein and KW, providing you have them set up properly.
-
Yes gt turbo from Japan
Had bc racing coilovers when they first came on the go :) there fully adjustable up n down left and right lol had them proper set up on machines cost me a lot to be done for knock hill race circuit :) spent basically 30 to 40k building my car over the years n broke it for spares n bought a mk5 diesel lad
Got new suspension so won't be buying coilovers again not into the race scene now got a comfy diesel lol if am going racing again buying a radical or a atom :)
