Title: Anyone selling a coilover kit for Mk1 Cabrio?
Post by: Sham on 17 May 2005, 20:13

Hi all

I need to replace front 2 shockers on the cab and think its a perfect time to whack on some coilovers - If I had the money I'd got for a set of new FK's but I'm a little strapped. If you know anyone who may be selling a set please let me know.
My email is: shamburhm@hotmail.com

Thanks  :wink:

I know the prices from all the big names and I've had FK's before on my VR, would definitely have em again, just hoped someone may a 2nd hand pair selling but it looks like I'm gonna have to cough up cash. GWENT VW have some good offers, so maybe I'll do that in a few months - in the meantime keep your eyes and ears open for anyone selling.

Thanks guys!

I will be selling my coilovers beginning of September. They are KW Variant 2 top adjustable. They are in like new condition and most important they are inox.

Try to adjust a coilover after a few months. You will find that the threads are rusted and you need to remove it completely and try to clean the threads. With the KW this will never happen  :wink:

Pic for motivation.... My previous setup Weitec Hikon TX fully adjustable VS new KW V2.

alright black_cabbie?

thanks for the note on coilovers, although i've heard they are quite harsh! I'm likely to fork out for a new set of FK's Highsports to be honest, only not just yet....If I'm interested and you still have them come September I'll drop you an email

Cheers!
