Kw Variant 1 And 2.

[SHADY-NINJA]

Was thinking of purchasing this kit as my standard shocks are totally gone.

UK PRICE
VARIANT 1 = £650
VARIANT 2 = £850

GERMANY PRICE
VARIANT 1 = £558
VARIANT 2 = £598

I'm a bit confused as to which one to get UK or GERMAN
Its basically the same product with the same part number.

H.E.L.P.

get the german!

 

[RobM]

If they are the same, but cheaper, there is only one answer!

 

[timmahhhhhh]

the steering wheel will be on the wrong side on the german ones

 

[Niall]

the steering wheel will be on the wrong side on the german ones

All shockabsorber mountings are the same

 

[timmahhhhhh]

you mean shocks don't have individual steering wheels?!
must get my head back in the haynes manual

It's obvious really get the cheaper German one's, only one word of warning Import Duty, ok so thats 2

If you go for the German ones make sure your not going to get stung for import duty, and vat by the post office, and end up paying as much as you would to get them in UK, with a proper UK guarentee.

I've been there got stung, buying bits from the US, and some times it's just better to buy bit's & bobs in the UK, unless you can get ££££'s significantly lower else where in the world.

as an EU resident paying for goods within the EU, VAT would be taken care of.
its the warrantee im a bit worried about.

but i sent a private message to ROBDON (who happens to be running the same KW variant 2 kit) and he says has had no warrantee issues.
he also uses the for alot of track days.
i would only occasionally use them on the track.

i just want some one to shed a bit of positive or negetive light on my question above.

now im on the last leg of deciding and that is getting the full £598 together

import duty is only applicable if you make purchases outside the EU.
