Thanks.
OEM S8 suspension setup would be more than 4x the price as these were quite cheap (£480 for the whole set). OEM would get you a more consistent and known setup, but I wanted something harder and less likely to bottom out.

As a weird quirk, the rear springs of the FK setup are exactly the same width and size as the (lower than A8) S8 rear springs. Will see how the FK's fair with some miles on them.

Love the black out sunglasses and the fact that the roof ridge on the opposite house was built using tetris technology

Great for a bit of a rally though the mountains. All the door handles broke so you could only get in through the boot but second gear was amazing.
