| Now with a bit of money i'm looking at uprating the suspension on my car. But i'd prefer the adjustability of adjustable dampers rather than fixed rate ones. Are there adjustable dampers available for the fabia vrs? There doesnty seem to be too much variety out there; Eibach springs and dampers Eibach springs and koni dampers eiach springs and koni FSD dampers What others are available?

| I know everybody seem to rave about the rear ARB mod but as a means of improving a soft, underdamped front heavy car i'm not convinced. I was hoping for adjustables so i have an alternative when i pick it up from the garage who fitted it and realise its not for me as I go over a stone and wince! But it looks as the the FSD's are a good comprimise between oem and the eibach dampers.
