Just thought I'd show you guys what I bought today!

A set of Koni FSD shocks and H&R springs been used for 5 thousand miles and are in nearly new condition! only paid £250!
Well happy just gotta find the time to fit them
 
I'm more impressed by the amount of coke you have stored in the back ground. That is one good deal on the shocks
 
I was about to mention the coke ;)
bargain mate half the price, bet your stoked.
 
I got them from Coventry there was a bloke on Edition 38 selling them quick race up the M40 this morning and they were spot on! I see a noggy blue S3 come out of your work yesterday mate he gave me the thumbs up too? You seen it mate?
 
How the hell did I miss these they're right on my door step!!
 
hahaha I'm proper addicted to coke! normaly have 4 or 5 cans a day!
 
Cool, that's a great price Hoggy, saved yourself a packet there!

I know mate I was actually planning on buying B8's and H&R's new this weekend too!
I know B8's are the dampers to have on here but I thought for the money I'd give these FSD's a go, hopefully they should be ok

Yeah I've seen it sat in the car park recently, not sure who ownes it. Used to always be a red golf mk4 gti parked up in the same place. Must of gone up in the world to an s3. Fair play to him.

Result then, for that price I would give them a go to, but from what I've read they're more comfortable than the B8's but not as performance orientated. It's up to you at the end of the day bud, you could sell them on but you'd still have to fork out over £500 for the Billies...
 
That's funny, just posted about the FSD's as I'm looking into getting a set. Are those lowering springs you've got there? Will be interested to know how they ride when you get them fitted. Are you on stock suspension now?

Ill be fitting them in 2 or 3 weeks pal so I'll post up as soon as I've given them a go and yes they are the H&R 25mm lowering springs (I've heard they're a bit firm but that's what I want)

Lol! I killed that one! On my third one now theres a plastic bit in the gearbox that snaps off and it's cheaper to just buy body only of the whole drill than buy the part to fix it! Great drill though as is the rest of the 18volt lithium range in my opinion

Not a dry liner mate I'm a Carpenter although plasterboard may have played a big part in killing that drill too...

I'm happy with them as its not too hard Matt
R32 ones as when I changed them they were the recommended ones,your spoilt for choice nowadays
 
Ah oh I've got my hands on a neuspeed rear arb but not sure weather to buy it or not? I've sort of said I will have it but here's some pics he sent me

He wants £70 for it? Does anyone think that's a good price? As again it's had less than 5 thousand miles of use
 
That's the thickness of it?

Sounds cheap enough to me, just weather its too thick compared to front arb? I always thought having similar sized arbs was best?

Im Most probably wrong though
 
He's pretty sure it's 19mm but will find out tommorow he said it has no drop links? I didn't know they were suposed to?
 
I re used my original drop links when I fitted my r32 rear arb. Also 19mm. One of the best mods I have done. Handling is vastly improved. Really flat. Suspension is standard too!

I'd say go for it, or get an r32 one. Same size, but cheaper 2nd hand. Although that one is probably better quality
 
Awsome sell a 19mm neuspeed rear arb for s3. It's £185 squidders too.

Proper bargain
 
Sweet yeah he wasn't sure if it was 19 or 22 but from the pic I would say it looks like 19mm yeah I'm definately going to buy it then whichever it is plus it has nearly new poly-bushes!
