Im leaning towards the kw/fk's they give u the ability to lower more than the weitecs! kw's supposed to give the best ride/handling compromise but they are the most expensive! I might have to go rob a bank! Wanna give me a hand? :lol:

i got my KW variant 1's from JBS for £573.21 inc VAT delivered. Best price i could find anywhere, although they dont actually stock them they just get them shipped directly from KW, which made me think maybe i could have cut out the middle man and went straight to KW and got them even cheaper???

well they look mint!!!! i decided to get shorter droplinks and some fresh topmounts which are taking ages to come, fingers crossed i'll get them this week and have them fitted soon then i'll put a wee post up but im sure they'll be the business!!!

i think it would be worth a try goin straight to KW, their numbers probably on the website, might need to brush up on you german though. JBS price was still good though so shouldnt complain

Need an ID-ten-T form
Kw'1 are good, fitted them myself and after 2 months there still no knocking or banging. I didn't change my top mounts nor buy new shorter drop links, and I can only can compare them to the original seat sport suspension.
FK's can go around 10mm lower on the back end. Its alot more stiffer and you can sometimes feel the camber of the road. But coupled with the Jabba ARB it does feel like a go-kart and can be "pushed" going around corners (roundabout at speed can be fun). Still think the Neros need changing as they still feel rubbish in the wet.

My mate says that you can really feel the difference much stiffer and firmer but wouldn't change his suspension on his LC.

Just want some poly bushes next to try and stop the wheel wobble and firm the firm ride up even more!
