Koni FSD
I just picked up my Koni FSD/Eibach springs for my 05 TT. A few hours later I received a call from where I bought them advising me not to install them yet. Apparently there is an issue in that this combo only lowers the rear. The front do not lower at all. My rep. is awaiting a return call Koni. Anybody hear of this issue? If I don't get a positive response in a few days I will be returning them.

Re: Koni FSD
just lowering the rear sounds pretty dumb, from personal experience, i think Eibach is junk. Koni shocks are great when used with the right spring and when used properly will make your car handle better and improve ride quality.

Re: Koni FSD
Jazz, what was the total price installed? I will be returning the FSD/Eibach as I am told they are on indefinate back order from another location, therefore, there is some kind of a problem with this kit.
I just got a quote from H2 Sport in Georgetown, $1200 plus install of $375, includes alignment. That is a Koni coilover kit listed on their site. I am just awaiting their return call to see if I need a camber kit.

Re: Koni FSD
Thanks for all your help, my friend owns Northern Performance in Hamilton where I purchased the kit from, Koni apparently is sending a new set of springs/shocks FSD they have now corrected the problem with the front of the set. I am going to hold out on that kit. When installed Jazz I'll post some photos.
