Suspension.
« on: 30 March 2010, 16:13 »
Just been looking into suspension kits,

The choices are,

http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=7476&manufacturer=FK&category=suspension
FK AKX, comes with 12 month warranty.

http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=19989&manufacturer=Koni&category=suspension
Koni STRT kit, life time warranty!!!!!

And

http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=34755&manufacturer=Spax&category=suspension
Spax VSX Kit 12 month warranty.

The FK kit is the cheapest, £205, the Spax is £259 and the Koni is £301, but what is selling me on the Koni is the lifetime warranty, especially having read about people haveing problems with cheap suspension kits like JOM.
Has anyone got any experiance of these kits or suggested any others.

MK4 GTI T AGU, REVO Remap, BMC carbon box, Miltek cat back, Forge diverter valve, THS FR3 engine/Gbox mounts, Some random alloys, lowered on coilovers.

Did you add them to the basket or just looked at them?? Price reduction didn't happen until you add to basket and then view the basket

Ah no just looked at them, also i lied about the warranty on the Koni's its 12 months, venom is wrong, lifetime is for coilovers only with koni.
