Some photo's and feedback our customers have posted up :beer:

I got them after a lot of talking to a friend who mods VW's for a living. He said that as long as I got dampening adjustable coils, I could play with the setting (easily done) to get it right where I want it. I had a Ford Focus and got H&R Coilovers for it... it rode stiff as all hell and it was spine shattering when hitting potholes/bumps/railroad tracks/etc. So I was seriously hesitant.

I got the these Konis... had em installed... and I honestly could not believe how smooth it drove.

Is it as smooth as stock? Not quite... any modified suspension won't be. But it's damn close! Close enough that my motion sensitive girlfriend didn't even notice until I told her (she could never ride long distances in the old POS.)

Just my 0.02

I highly recommend these Konis.


The result, for display purposes (and semi-whoring):

Edit - These don't go as low as H&R Ultralows (which are nice from everything I've read)... so if you want something that you can dump with no mercy for a show or something, these aren't it. Just a side note.
Those are 17's. At the time it was all the way down in the rear and about 10 threads up in the front. On sloped driveway so it's not 100% clear.

Recently I did some fender rolling and took out the rear perches in the rear. This is with 19" wheels a few days ago:

This is the rear:

Hope that helps!

Got them on yesterday :thumbup: :thumbup:
Here's mine with the Koni's installed that I ordered from WRDUSA. Awesome coils. Only problem is that my rear perch wouldn't fit above the spring (what's up with that?), so just the collar is on in the back. Still rides incredibly smooth, and nobody can beat WRD's prices. :thumbup::thumbup:

Image

Image
a few threads left in the rear (practically all the way down) and id say 3/4 down up front iirc.

Image


Image

Image

Image

Received on Friday as promised. Installed on Saturday. :beer:

Image
Installed with my Tarmacs. Currently at 25" all the way around until the springs settle. Dampeners set at 50%-ish. I couldn't be happier and can't wait to dial them in!

Image

Image
Finally installed :cool: Thanks
