INSTALL
Install on the FK Cup Kit was pretty straight forward, just like any other Mk3 suspension job.
PERFORMANCE
The rear struts are height adjustable to set up your rear stance as well as possible. The drop
with the kit is the perfect setup for a daily driver. The ride is also great, a huge increase
over stock. The quality was awesome, probably the best riding cup kit I have ever experienced.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Overall I would recommend this kit to anyone on a budget, but also looking for a quality suspension setup.

INSTALL
Installation was pretty easy. I chose to have my friend put the front struts/springs in for me
at his shop because he has a spring compressor and all the necessary tools to align the front
end at the same time. I did the rears with a friend in my garage, very simple process. You do
not need a spring compressor to install the rear shocks/springs. All it takes is two people.
PERFORMANCE
I am very satisfied with the decision I made to go with the FK setup. I have had mine installed
for about a year/14,000 miles now and it still rides like new. The ride is very firm and controlled,
yet is still daily drivable without any discomfort (for me anyways). It does hit hard on uneven
and bad pavement, but it’s a stiffer system, so it’s going to happen. After it settles, the front
drops to about a finger and a half gap on stock (195/60/14) tires and about two fingers in the rear,
a nice raked look. IMO, it’s the right height for a daily driver, being low enough to look good
and handle well without being too low and compromising the roll center of the suspension a great deal.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I would recommend this kit to anyone who may not want to break the bank on suspension,
or even anyone that just wants a good cupkit. As I stated, I am satisfied with mine, and would
probably purchase it again if I had to cross that bridge.
