Anyone tried the new Koni FSD struts?

RoW M030 springs for 5speed look to be unobtainium without going with the full kit. Full kit from my local dealer is 2350$cdn. Carnewal appears to be better priced.
Stock RoW m030 shouldn't be too bad right? How's dealing with carnewal?

Carnewal was good, Gert was good to deal with. It took a while for them (my Koni FSD order) to get here though, due to a wrong part being delivered to his shop or something. I don't have the exact amount of time, but maybe 6 weeks? Normally I think it would be more like 2 weeks. Email him and reach out, he always got back to me very quickly.

Thanks Steve,
I inquired about a mix and match with the FSDs and it added over 400€ to the price and a possible delay of several weeks for the FSDs. But it seems if he can order the springs he has better parts availability than what my dealer has so I may forgo the sways and just order the springs and FSDs. Be a shame to go this route when the whole Porsche kit is so reasonably priced and complete. I'm less sure of my direction now...
Looking more like Porsche kit and when those dampers go off...

Yesterday we installed a set of Koni FSD along with a H&R springs on my younger son older Jetta, drove the car for about two hours going back home and really liked the combination, great chassis control (firm) but without the harsh ride.

RoW M030 springs and FSDs ordered from Gert. 4-5 week wait for the FSDs so it will be a while before a review.

Did they arrive yet?

My FSD will be going on with -10 H&R springs. It's replacing my old M030. New arms all round not that long ago and will also have fresh drop links and Powerflex arb bushes and some Kmac adjustable top mounts.

No, Gert said it will be a few more weeks. They will be from the latest production run. Factory fresh so to speak.

This is almost exactly what I want to do (though I have ROW M030 now). Do let us know how it goes and what additional parts you required.
