Hi Andy
The FSD`s are superb
I know you have researched this well done
The FSD`s are £293.61 + VAT
The springs Eibach Pro we have on offer at £105 + VAT
postage would be £10.00 + VAT
So all in to the door is £480.12
The KW`s are excellent , the only problem with the V1`s is that they are not dampening adjustable
They are like most coilovers height adjustable so no worries there
The price of the KW`s is £569.36 + VAT
Again postage is £10.00 + VAT
All in to your door is £680.75
The FSD`s are available with Koni and we have 1 set of the springs in
Hope that helps?
Sarah

NIce one!!!
KW`s are fantastic we have the V3`s on just about every car we have
If you want the car to sit , just how you want coilovers is the way forward
I will tell Dean to make sure we get the ASAP for you
I am excited for you now

You'll just have to be mindful of sump clearance as well

That looks good :thunmbup:
Nice one , I must admit when you get a drop in to your head sometimes it has to be coilovers so you get EXACTLY what you want
Looking good
As has been said , watch the sump , you maybe lucky and get an uprated sump guard off here as a few was sold on the GB Josh did
Thank you for them pics

It's a no go unfortunately, has already been discussed numerous times

The original company isn't prepared to do any more, it would seem

A few other options have been looked at, but it seems the sticking point is the mounting. There were also issues with the original and cars that had FMICs. I remember a few members had modified brackets made up to overcome this.

In the process of making some myself, they are along way off yet. Plus the way i wanna do it is that nuts would have to be welded to the subframe so its super strong........... Problem is not everyone has welders/ is prepared to weld bits to their cars.
