Supercharged 2 Posted January 14, 2008 I wouldn't pay much unless they are in very good condition of a low mileage car... My 5 year old ones (60k miles) look like they are about to fall apart... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue95 0 Posted January 14, 2008 They have fixed damping, but are height adjustable. Will have some pics up soon, as I plan to remove them tonight. Not 100% but I think they are heaight adjustable up to either 60 or 90mm. here are some pics after I had just fitted the shocks: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=40635&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15 Only managed 1k miles as I started my 4x4 conversion shortly after, and later leanred they wouldn't fit the 4x4 drivetrain Dohh!!! Like I said I will get some pics up ASAP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue95 0 Posted January 14, 2008 They are adjustable all round. Here is a pic of the actual shocks, before I installed them, will get some new pics up tonight (very late) 3.jpg[/attachment:1rta08nv] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
__Andy__ 0 Posted January 14, 2008 they look nice, whats the ride like on them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted January 14, 2008 I can only compare to the statndard muck, but it was a 100% improvement. Peeps go on about the ride quality etc with coilovers but compared to the tired setup I had this was a massive improvement. fter installing the shcoks I also coated the threads with bike chain wax so there are no rusted or seized threads what so ever. All in all great shocks, if I didn't have to sell I would have defo kept them. In fact when replacing I treied to get a set of FK AKs to fit a Rallye or Syncro but FK don't make any :( I know they are only FKs budget coilovers but they do the job great. They have a very solid feel and build, I think the bumpstops are poly as well. Think there are very few people who will slate the FK AKs, unlike some of FKs more expensive setups.

blue95 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Here are some pics.....they speak for themselves, just covered in a bit of wax and dirt, I can say 100% that there is not one spot of rust on them!. Gave them a bit of a wipe last night and they clean up fine. Also included is a set of C spanners and I managed to find a set of slutted nuts that I never used. If your intrested please let me know asap. I did want to include P&P in the price but I need to check how much its going to be (in case its something stupid), else collection is always an option (I am in MK, nr M1 junc 13/14) Corrado92.pdf1.JPG[/attachment:2ovwn3nx] passat climatronic wiring diags.pdf2.JPG[/attachment:2ovwn3nx] climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdf3.JPG[/attachment:2ovwn3nx] 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf4.JPG[/attachment:2ovwn3nx] 5.JPG[/attachment:2ovwn3nx] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
