Default ST coilover setup just came in.

Hey guys just got my coilover kit today from the AMI sale. These are supposed to be the same as the KW v1 coilover kit. Just a different finish on the front shockbodies. From what I can tell it looks like a pretty quality kit. Just took some pictures for everyone to see for themselves. Hopefully the weather will get better tomorrow so I can install them on my girl friends A3.

Default Yeah pretty much

aside from installing a BT which I don't really want to do at this stage of the car's life. I'm looking to move into a B8 Avant sometime only thing holding me back is the lack of a S-tronic transmission available right now. After driving my gf's DSG, I love the quick smooth shifts and how it drives.

Default Looks nice...update please when installed but..

Have to question the marketing genius that put a Fusion on the box. I'm not knocking the Fusion as it's a good family car. It doesn't scream "Sporty Mod Ready Car"

Default Yeah no idea about the box,

They could of just made a different box for european applications or not had a car at all on it.

Default Yeah I'm rolling on a set of FM5's right now

Might move them over to the A3 if I get the avant.

Default soooo awesome. Unless they are et45 or more they won't fit on the A3

they stick out too far. Those are 18x8.5?

Default yeah 18x8.5, good thing about fikse is that

they have bolted on spacers to make the correct offset so I should be able to take the spacer off of the wheel and it will move it to a et45.
