Koni FSD & Stock Springs Vs. Koni orange and Nuespeed

[MikeBoatr]

Alright,

First, not driving a Golf, driving a FWD 2.0T A3, but I'm a member from my TDI days, and A3 forums suck.

Anyway, got a suspension dilemma and I don't have a clue so I'm looking for an educated opinion

I'm trying to decide between Koni FSD shocks/struts and stock springs or Koni Orange and Neuspeed springs. I'm looking from a handling perspective, I don't care a huge amount about lowering (though I realize that a lower car will generally handle better). My garage faces onto an unpaved alley, so lowering might be a PITA anyway. Anyone got any advice?

get the Autotech Clubsport kit

 

[MikeBoatr]

A) too low
B) Don't make them for the A3

Thanks for trying, though.

 

[greasyginzo]

A) sell the Autotech springs and get DG springs
B) they will fit the A3

I don't know much about koni orange but I run the FSD's in my R. Better handling than stock and a comfier ride. I am on VWR springs which have the same spring rate as OEM and only lower about 1/2 to 3/4 inch because, like you, I did not want to be super low.

Very happy with the setup.
