« on: 10 November 2007, 21:21 »
My FK Kit seems to be delayed and I need a kit by tuesday.

What are these Boge Kits like from GSF?

boge shockers are top quality and used by eibach for suspension development....I have used boge extreme shockers and eibachs and the ride is good..the kits at gsf use boge gas (similar to o.e gas struts i believe?) and for the price are excellent

I have recently put these on my gti recently and they are quite good. The ride is firm, but the handling is good.

Quite good for the price.

40mm will be the max (like most shockers) unless they have shorterned piston rods for lower!

i think you might be disapointed with a 40mm drop, i know i was, sorry to piss on your bonfire, but if you really can wait i would and get the 60/40 kit

have a look on vwvortex in the mk3 section at the 60/40 cup kit thread, you can see how much better it sits in there

Well hopefully the 60/40 FK Kit will arrive on time. This is the split I really wanted. Will post pics when all is done (one way or another).

Woooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww..............

Got the wifes car back today. The FK kit 60/40 split arrived just in time to be fitted. What a difference. I agree, the 60/40 split really levels the car out and it looks kinda bad ass at the front.  :grin:

Told her to watch the kerbs though (prob won't listen)!!

Will try and post some pics soon, ie when I've cleaned it. Cheers for everyones advice.
