Has anyone used KW suspension before?
Any comments on it?

Yo Fil

They sound proper then!

Spoke to the importers last week and they say it will be available mid November, gives me time to save up I spose

Got a Caractere grille yesterday, but it was broken when I opened the parcel up

Was looking forward to spraying it today

Doh.

Hi Polo2k

Welcome to the forum!

Please let me know what the ride quality is like, and how much lower the car is once you've had them fitted. Also, could you tell me how much it cost to get it done!

I can fit suspension, if you are interested Josh....

Hardhitter...

Where are you? I might be interested... How much do you charge?

I've been looking at getting Eibach springs fitted, but have been put off by the labour cost.

PM or Email me!

yeah well yesterday got blown off so sat i promise
to fit them you will need a spring compressor to do the fronts cos you re use the strut bearing
if you get the variante 2 it says in the catalog the rears are adjustable in situ but you need to remove them then adjust them like konis adjust
oh yeah and i think at the mo for €150 extra you can get them all in stainless bodies but mine arrived 2 days before that model became alailable

MOLE- are you the same mole as on vwvortex.com - YES

Still not ordered mine yet.
They say that it is not ride adjustable at the rear (var2) so Im wondering if there is a point in getting var2 over var1??

Show us sum pics, and let us kno how it goes.
Cheers. Mole

it is adjustable at the rear but you have to remove them from the car to do it like the konis. however the fronts have a little plastic "alloy wheel) to adjust in situ
the cost of the variante 2 is around 1300euro (Â£800) but i hear they have just gone up 150 euro (Â£100) because they use stainless threads now
