isnt it amazing how much lowering a car can do and make ya alloys look mint, but change your centre caps to vw ones cos its not an audi LOL

Now that looks shed loads better!!! Cheers Tim.
Definately agree with needing VW centre caps, but don't know where to get hold of them!!! Anybody know???
I'm so tempted to get some coilies now!!!

Nice one.
How did you find the ride on the FK's??? Had konigsports fitted to my mk5 and it was a pretty firm ride. Really liked them apart from them siezing up with rust
and the fact they knocked and clanged like buggery!!
I take it they lower a lot more than Eibachs too!!??

i found the ride ok, but on most of my cars ive had quite a harsh ride
the fk silverlines were the ones i had, they ride like konigsports on the medium setting - so its just right i reckon!
i tihnk with fk if you gonna go for them, go for the alu upgrade, so silverlines or silverline x's for koni inserts!
they clang on the front if you lower too much! on that pic i just finished raising the front so it didnt clang, but it still looked low as fcuk!
yeh the lower alot more than the Eibachs, but i reckon the eibachs will give a better ride, but for value for money and looks wise, i'd go for the FK's each time - thus my second set now the white one! lol

im debating with the idea of having the adjuster removed at the rear, with its height being 20 mm, would allow another 20 mm of drop at the rear and theres still 40+ mm at the front that it can go down yet, get my front arches sorted and wind it down another 20 mm haha
