a highly doubt anyone here has those cuz I've NEVER seen those before...good find.

I'm stupid when it comes to converting mm to in.

but for a strut/spring combo sounds like a good price...

Divide the number by 25.4 to comvert mm to inches.

So for example 50.8mm = 2"

Hmmm. Need more info, but it is very interesting. Note they have some milder 35-40mm drops as well.

Here's some links...

Seem popular among the VW crowd. I searched Google for "FK Suspension forum, and so far, no discouraging words.

Seems almost too good to be true. A respected German maker of high-quality parts, making something for the...the...Contour? At a good price? Must be some mistake.

Here's some stuff from Focaljet:

Recognize, though, that several of those people are referring to specific FK kits not made for our cars. Seems only the Hi-Tec kit is available, and people might be talking about "konigsport" or "highsport" or some such.

on their kits with the milder drop...is that 40mm for the back or the front? I couldn't imagine having a setup lower the back more than the front...especially on these cars.

But the other one has a crazy drop...isn't that almost 3" for the front and around an 1" for the back?

Hmmm. Good point. On the Focus, it's 40mm for the back, but some of their kits allow some adjustment of the spring perch. Need to look into that.

No, more like around 2.25 front, and 1.6 back, just like the BG Autobahns.
