koni fsd's for fr tdi

[allbutt55]

hi there been reading all about having the springs changed on my fr to make a bit smoother for the kids in the back been looking round a few places jkm said they will do it for £756 fitted inc which i think is a bit steep since i have read some of you have had done for around £600 can anyone let me know of anyone else who will do it at this price






Thanks

JKM's price sounds about right for supply & fitting of springs and dampers including setting them up.

 

[m0rk]

£430 on ebay, £150 to fit, £40 to align (with some VAT on the labour & alignment) that would be £660 IMO

 

[allbutt55]

have any of you had these fitted?

 

[SteveTDCi]

for shocks yes, for shocks & springs add £150 to it.

My car (FR TFSI) is booked in at Jabba Sport to have Koni FSDs and Eibach Pros installed next Friday.

Price very similar to JKM's quote above.

 

[allbutt55]

so why are you changing yours, for the same reason as me?

Yup. I've just about got accustomed to the jolty ride myself... but it's getting boring explaining to passengers that they're being bumped about because it's 'sporty'. I mean, sometimes it prevents proper conversation as you're jiggled so much it affects your voice!

Also, I wince every time I see my baby daughter's head getting bounced around as she's trying to sleep in her car seat in the back. At the weekend she even asked if we could "go mummy's car not the bumpy car".

I'm not looking for something quite as soft as the missus' Accord Estate, but I'm hoping the new FSDs and Eibachs will smooth out the worst crash-bangs enough that I can enjoy my car both with and without passengers... that's my goal.
