£399.47 is pretty cheap for adjustable shocks & lowered springs, don't know how much it lowers by though.

And doesnt state what Fabia it is for, unless they offer all Fabia kits at that price.

Good point.

My feeling is that if something seems too good to be true, then it probably is.

RallyRed · 16-04-2006, 22:40

its not ludicrously cheap but its is cheap wouldnt hurt to ask what fab its for

texasjohn · 16-04-2006, 22:45

^ yeah, always helps to define which particular variant of the Fabia they'd fit!

**VRStu** · 16-04-2006, 22:56

They don't list them on their web site -

No idea. Dont think they list one for the vRS. Be best asking them.

Spanner · 18-04-2006, 16:17

Have another look on the Awsome website!

£298+VAT for the suspension kit with adjustable dampers. Lowers about 30-35mm.

There was a thread recently which Sarah stated prices for both eibach and koni's.

***Neo_VR*** · 18-04-2006, 16:53

Koni dont do springs to suit the vRS...

altho at that price just buy the kit + eibach springs... and flog the koni springs

Spanner · 18-04-2006, 21:01

In what respect are they not suitable?

I really dont know too much, I've never driven a car with modifed susp. so am trying to understand what its likely to be like before i take the plunge!

Are the eibachs that much different??? I know some people on here have various different suspension parts, hows koni's compared to eibachs then?
And is there rather hefty price justified?

**VRStu** · 18-04-2006, 21:23

The vRS is heaver on the nose than other models.

AwesomeSarah · 19-04-2006, 11:20

Hi All
I know that the springs are different for the vRS.
I am expecting a call from Koni later so I will ask the questin for you to see how much the kit will be.
As has been said the prices of the kits we have just now , if you definately want the Eibach spings then it would be worth selling on the Koni ones.
Will keep you all posted
Sarah
