    Default why are these so cheap?

    http://shop.fixxtuning.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.335/.f

    bilstein shocks alone are around $550 and
    bilstein cup kit is $899+

    so why are these so much cheaper? are they that bad of quality? has anyone had these or driven in a car with these, FKs and H&R cup kit?

    dude your not going to feel that much of a difference in those kits... they are all around the same specs, either adjustable or nonadjustable w/ 1.5-2.1" drop... either way it is better than stock... H&R is a very well known company i would put it on my car in a heart beat, FK well known in the euro scene as well. I've driven a GLI w/ ebiach + koni and it was a smooth ride, so its just up to you on how much you want to spend

    Vogtland makes some very nice springs. They are big over in Germany, still gaining a reputation here in the states. I almost got a set of Vog springs (i wish i had actually since they drop more than the H&Rs i went with). I have Koni shocks as well, which are also great.

    Cant go wrong with that setup
