FK ST KW coilovers Non-KONI etc
I've been hesitatant to post this thread as I'm aware there are a number of older and extensive posts regarding suspension, primarily for conventional damper and spring set ups. However, after reading heaps of posts including a lot of historical stuff on other forums and I'm still requiring a few answers.
Has anyone fitted the FK Silverline (non-KONI version) in the last few years??
Over at Europerformance this kit is on at a really accessible price of £524.99 - http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pa...dia2&manufacturer=fksuspension&sub_category=1
...doesn't seem bad especially since it comprises stainless steel components over the entry level stuff.
My question here is how well set up this kit is for the A2 being as it is the non-KONI version but instead uses SACHS dampers (I think) and does not have adjustable damping. In an ideal world I'd go for the KONI equipped FK Silverline X kit but the jump in price puts it out of my range.
I've also read comments from several years back that the FK Silverline kit being sold for the A2 was the same as that sold for the Polo, meaning between all the variations and weights of the cars (including FSI and TDI differences) that the kit would not be tuned particularly well to the car??... but I'd rather hear from anyone that has tried the Silverline kits on an A2 in the last few years to get more insight on the ride quality etc.
Hoping to purchase a kit in the next week if I can make my mind up!
Thanks, Kennedy.
