Timo. 0 Posted November 3, 2004 They either go on the rear shocks or the rear pig tail bit on the rear spings. Cant remember, it says in the instructions. Fitted this kit about two months ago. Give us a shout if you have more trouble finding where it goes and I'll have a look for it! Timo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timo. 0 Posted November 3, 2004 See the two metal circle things at the bottom of the picture. Those plastic things fit on top of them when you put the metal things on the rear shocks. Timo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted November 3, 2004 Yup - seconded. You "may" prefer to use shortened standard bumpstops than the koni items - try them and see. under no circumstances use the standard items AND the Koni items on the same shock as I've seen... :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Mk4 ones are the way to go... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted November 4, 2004 See the two metal circle things at the bottom of the picture. Those plastic things fit on top of them when you put the metal things on the rear shocks. Timo. They're to stop the springs making a noise on the spring baseplate, as mentioned they're shown in the diagram that comes with the Konis, I've used standard bump stops cut down and the dust covers that fit to the bump stop trimmed down a bit too, I presume you don't have any dust/spray covers if you use the poly bump stops.

Gareth 0 Posted November 4, 2004 the instructions i got are not very clear and dont even have the large disc or the plastic parts in the diagram :) thanx 4 all your help thou. but why do some of u think that the poly bump stops are not as good as the standard 1ns?. i'd like to get it rite first time so i dont have 2 remove the shocks again so all opinions welcome. no i dont have the dust covers (Gators) but i want some so will the standard 1ns fit over the shaft and shock body??

Andy T 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Are those poly bump stops hard or soft? they look exactly like some spax 'progressive' ones I used to run on my GTI, they were quite soft. They gained you some extra spring travel but when the shock bottomed out you really felt it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matth76 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Koni Sport Suspension kit. How does it feel after a year's use? I'm thinking about getting one of these kits. Are they any good and how much does it lower your car by? From what I understand they lower about 25-30mm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
