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?

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.

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?

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 They claimed the coilovers I bought were an outdated design and therefore they would not pay to repair or replace them.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.

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&products_id=593"> http://www.034motorsport.com/product_info.php?cPath=25_90&products_id=593</a</li></ul>

or the catalogue? Im looking at an 2001 catalogue and they have them. I had kws on two of my vehicles variant 3's on my old 01 s4 if i remember correctly. Their quality is fantastic. Also had them on my mk2 vr6 awesome again.
