Koni FSD and Eibach Kit - Octavia MKI, MKII & Fabia

**VRStu** · 25-05-2007, 12:34

I don't think you'll be disapointed Steve.

I paid a little visit to a well respected local VAG experts yesterday and lets just say I am impressed with the outcome.

If you are down I might even be able to drag Mr Fish over and take you for a spot of lunch if I can get off of work.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I believe Mr Fish will be in Hullavington next Friday.

Providing we can get the parts in time then we currently have a 1.30pm slot available for fitting next Friday (1st June). I will need at least a couple of days notice to obtain the shocks and springs though if you wish to go ahead.

Kind Regards
Kate

That could work out very well indeed. What's your estimate for fitting time?

As soon as I've checked the old finances I'll give you a shout

Stu - sounds good mate, just let me know

Cheers,
Steve

That is of course assuming he can avail himself of the necessary rubber to complete such a feat. But alas I think you may be correct.

Steve - It's not 100% and may not be until the day but I'll text you if I can.

No worries Stu

Koni prepeared two sets of front FSD with 50mm struts and 55mm(2100-4000 & 4001). Witch shtruts they tolking about ?

**VRStu** · 26-05-2007, 23:29

According to Koni the MKII RS uses the 55mm ones and the non RS MKII use the 50mm.

WW_VRS · 28-05-2007, 12:34

Highly recommended upgrade - I changed my shockers from Eibach Pro dampers to the Koni FSDs and the car is much more comfortable generally, yet keeps the handling ability

bomski · 29-05-2007, 13:18

I'm also interested in this purchase; i was down at JBS Auto Designs at the weekend and they quoted me around £750 for same setup and fitting on my 04 Fabia vRS....

I'll know on thursday whether i'm doing this mod (come on backpay!) so can i give you a nudge then?

Do the Eibach springs offer the 30mm drop?

**VRStu** · 29-05-2007, 13:42

Eibach on a Fabia vRS is -25mm IIRC

Hi Steve,

You will be here approx 3 hours by the time the tracking and road testing is done. We are getting very busy this week and I will need to know by tomorrow morning at the lastest if you want these fitted on Friday so I can reserve you a space in the workshop and order the parts.

Kind Regards
Kate

Wardy · 29-05-2007, 15:18

Cheers for the info Kate. I'll know myself by tonight whether I have enough funds to get it done this week
