Group Buy: Koni FSD/Eibach Kit - Octavia MkII & Fabia

Makefish · 23-01-2007, 09:03

In conjunction with our friends and site sponsors JKM, we are pleased to offer the first of hopefully many group buys, the first being for the Koni FSD shock absorbers and Eibach lowering spring kit for the Skoda Octavia MkII. The combination of Koni and Eibach is widely regarded as the best combination optimising road comfort with much improved handling. You only need to read the recent review in VW Car Magazine to know that you NEED these!.

Edit: Hot news, this offer is now open to Fabia owners too at the same attractive price of £575. Please contact me or JKM for further information.

JKM are offering the Koni/Eibach kit supplied and fitted at their first class workshop facility in Portsmouth for an all inclusive price of £575 including VAT, a saving of £100 (more if you take into account of the imminent price increase from Koni!!!). Of course at that price you would expect a catch and there are a few rules to qualify for this offer:-

1. We need a minimum of 5 cars.
2. Cut off date will be Friday 16th February.
3. A deposit of 50% must be paid prior to the cut off date to qualify for the discount (the ballance to be paid on the day of fitting).

You will also need to make a visit to JKM prior to an order being placed because VAG in their wisdom have produced two different diameters of 'bump stops' on their OEM shocks therefore JKM need to check this size before any order can be placed (Applies to the Octavia's only). Fitting will be by prior arrangement and will take between 3-4 hours.

This is not officially organised by Briskoda and therefore Briskoda cannot be held responsible for any wrong doing or legal matter arising from this group buy.

Fluffmeister · 24-01-2007, 21:38

I want to, but fear that the timing may not suit, I spent £180 at the RR day (which is much less than some chaps

I agree)

As long as you pay the 50% (£287.50) before the cut off date you can have them fitted sometime in March possibly early April if that would suit?.

Makefish · 25-01-2007, 14:36

LATEST NEWS: Offer extended to Fabia drivers too so if you want to take advantage of this genuine offer then get your names on the list.

We only need 5 to qualify for the all inclusive price of £575!.

Sorry guys, my heart is set on KW V2 coilovers. Now if JKM can get fabia KW V2s in at a good price, then I will join the GB as a "unique" part.

SkodiRS · 30-01-2007, 08:23

Please cna peeps keep the "chatter" to a minimum...it makes it easier to manage the group buy. If you have question please PM Steve and he'll answer you directly and perhaps, posdt up a FAQ of all quetions asked.

Sorry to ask in here but my PM box is a bit full but are these for any Octy II or only those with sports suspension.

If it is for any what is the drop on std suspension and what is the drop on sports suspension.

From what I have been reading, the Koni FSD / Eibach combi does not actually drop the car at all, I could be wrong though. Been doing some research after steve sent me an articel and had a good trawl round the mk5 golf forums

It's all about fine tuning low speed ride compliance whilst keeping things firmed up nicely when driving in a spirited fashion

Edit - Sorry Adrian, just noticed your post on chatter, feel free to delete this

Having checked out Eibach's website it looks like they use the same springs on ALL Octy IIs and they lower 'standard' by 30mm and vRS (& Sport) by 20mm. Remember the vRS/Sport are 15mm lower than standard to start with.

For me; I'm tempted BUT have only just ordered my vRS TDI and am not sure of delivery dates so am hesitant to commit AND I have put eibach on two previous cars (Omega Estate & Fabia mpi) and felt uncomfortable on them, so I'd likely just get the FSDs, presumably saving the cost of the eibachs. I have found the ride on the firm and jiggly side on the vRS and would really appreciate the comfort of the FSDs.

Shall I or shall I not?

PS> here is a link to eibachs's application list - Heinrich Eibach GmbH go to application list Skoda, Octavia, and the Pro-kit

TeflonTom · 03-02-2007, 21:17

i thought i better say..... i fitted the koni fsd shocks and koni springs to my fabia about 3 days ago..... and they are brilliant, much quieter than the oe suspension was, and the handling is 10 times better now... well worth the money!

JKM_Performance · 06-02-2007, 14:56

Hi Folks

We have had a few enquiries regarding just fitting the Koni FSD Shocks to the Octavias without the Eibach Springs. We can do this not a problem.

I am happy to offer a group buy fitted price for those who just want the FSD shocks fitted.

Our normal retail price for this is £515 inc VAT fitted. The group buy price would be £465 inc VAT fitted. If you are interested in this then please add you name to the list and state if you want FSD & Eibach or just FSD.
