Got them on my Mk5, really good and I would reccommend them and use them myself again.

FYI I have lowered springs also and they are fine with this, I think the problem is when they are lowered too much.  FSD and Eibach are a perfect match and this is sold in a set but others like H&R (which give the same drop) are prefectly fine.

Like i said it can be done. But if koni are working on FSD dampers for lowered cars must have been a prob with some cars?

Well when i was going to get FSD's i also spoke to shaun at AMD Technik, He said you can fit them, and that there was a few probs with lowered car when the spring would somtimes move from the strut when driving. (prob like you say thay were lower than 30mm?)

Now im just telling you what i was told by koni, I didnt want to risk it which is why ive now got some eibach pro dampers.
Why dont you ring koni direct tell them what you want and make your decision from there.

 Im not saying dont buy them or that thay wont work i just didnt fancy getting them and being disappointed or wasting £350. Also ive done hours or research into which dampers to go for and the eibach pros were among the top rated.

Hope this helps.
