hi just want to ask if i can use the koni fsd of my r53 to my friends r56? im using koni fsd with jcw springs. I got a set of KW V1 from r56 and i was able to use it with my r53 just swapped my IE Fixed Camber Plates in the front and removed spacer/washer in the rear where you put the bolt.
My friend would like to try if the koni fsd/jcw spring will fit his r56 if we put the r56 top mount and the washer/spacer at the rear. thanks
A search at the KONI website shows a slight difference. The SKU on the one for the R53 (or Gen 1) is 2100-4010 and for the R56 (Gen 2) is 2100-4099. There must be a reason for different SKU numbers so don't close the deal 'till your buddy tries them on.
thanks way i hope the ride is ok. currently im using kw v1 that came from an r56. although this is the highest i can go in the front. but the ride is superb compared to koni fsd with stock springs and with jcwsprings. really night and day for me
