Koni FSD

[neil_f225]

What Koni FSD part no is everyone using to fit Cupra R. Koni dont list it and I have phoned them and they suggest a standard Leon kit but I know the front shocks are different. Is it the kit for Octavia VRS? Reason I ask that is because the H&R coilovers I have just now are listed the same for Cupra R and Octavia Vrs. H&R are the only manufacturer that I can find that recognises that Cupra R is different.

are you changing your h&r kit for the fsd? if you are can i ask why?

 

[neil_f225]

a lot of the roads I drive are getting worse and looking for something a bit softer... cant really fault the coilovers though they are certainly not that uncomfortable...hopefully i wont regret changing as the handling is brilliant with the coilovers especially on track

 

[chubbs]

have you phoned awesome they might be able to help. I know what you mean about the hard ride!! the wife hates it

 

[neil_f225]

the majority of the time the ride isnt that bad but i do enjoy the country roads and they seem to be getting worse for bumps/potholes

I'm not sure but I think the places (such as awsome) that sell them specifically for the LCR sell a mix of auti TT fronts and golf Mk4 rears as that's the setup on the LCR.

i spoke to koni and they said they only sell them as complete kits Was wondering if a bracket came with them to allow the droplink to bolt onto the damper instead of the wishbone?

octavia vrs rears are different iirc.due to having the extra weight over the arse end.awesome are the ones to speak to mate.cheapest in the country .322 a set i think (or there abouts)

the FSDs for the LCR is the same as the other mk1 Leons afaik.

The VRS suspension is similar to that of a 2wd TT on the back and a Mk4 golf on the front. The FSD kit for this is unique.

Hi
Yes they are available and they are the same for the Octavia vRS
We sell them for £322.00 + VAT
It is if you like 2 kits , but IIRC we are the only company in the UK to do them , I could be wrong , but we can get them easily enough I sold a set yesterday , so I know that

thanks for the info...might well be in touch shortly. Going to try Eibach springs with the standard shocks and see what it is like. Shocks have only done 14k miles.
