Default Anyone ever heard KW's or FK Automotives suspension kit?

I'm considering to abandon my Koni's.
After installed the 2bennett Camber plate.
It feel like the compression on Koni is
too soft when I hit the bumpy road or potholes.
I get some special offer from my friend who's the authorized dealer from Germany to try the
Suspension kit from FK Automotives and KW's Variant 2.The kit can do adjust the height,
compression and rebound rate.It's $1600-2000.Is this worth the $$$ to try?

Default i have the KW's on my TT, good stuff

it's a very controlled right. the v3's are very easy to tune and get ride. very durable.

trick valving does extremely well at soaking up huge bumps.

v2's and v3's are a street sport spring rate, won't be a track star, but they are amazing on back roads. i just got back from a windy weekend trip. it's at least a 3 hour trip for most. i made it in 2:15. the car handles! it's neutral and predictable and not overly harsh, i couldn't be happier for a street/track/auto-x compromise setup. YMMV b/c the chassis are SOOOOO different.

spend for the v3's though.

Default for UrS4/S6 KW's will come up with only Var.2 if I'm not get wrong.

Both FK's and KW's use Koni Shock absorber.

Var.1 able to height adjusted
Var.2 able to height and bumping(compresion)adjusted
Var.3 ab;e to height,bumping,rebound adjusted.

Am I correct?

Default Don't do business with FK

I bought one of their coilover kits when they first came to the US, in 2001. It was sold with a lifetime warranty. In 2004 all of the shocks were blown, and they refused to honor the warranty. They claimed the coilovers I bought were an outdated design and therefore they would not pay to repair or replace them. I had all the original warranty documentation and spent hours on the phone with their rep in germany. They don't care about their customers.

Default We worked directly with KW to get the V2 and V3 setup rolling here for the UrS cars.

The absorbers certainly aren't Koni's. And we can do V2 and full V3 parts for these cars. Have been for a while now.

Amazing ride quality, and superb handling across the board.<ul><li><a href="http://www.034motorsport.com/product_info.php?cPath=25_90&amp;products_id=593"> http://www.034motorsport.com/product_info.php?cPath=25_90&amp;products_id=593</a</li></ul>

Default Wait didnt KW have a setup available for a WHILE you just had to look

Default Nate,I'm just wondering does Var.2,3 need any modify on strut housing?

I noticed the remark on the site.
