Hi

Newbie here but been lurking for a while.

Just wanted to ask some advice. I need to replace the rear shocks on my A3. Rather than just replacing them I was considering replacing all four corners with either the Koni FSD kit or the Spax PSX kit.
Has anyone used either of these kits?
Is there any advantage to one over the other?

Many thanks in advance.

Can't comment on an A3 but I have FSDs on my A2. Can't recommend them highly enough, has gone from handling like a jumped up micra to feeling like a mini A6.

Thanks for that Agent 006.

Anyone had any experience of the Spax kit?

Thanks again.

Just in case anyone is interested, I went for the FSD kit and a set of Koni sport springs. After a not inconsiderable bit of hassle getting the fronts fitted the car is now great to drive. It doesnt seem to thump and crash over potholes in the way it used to and on the way across Fife last night it held the road as well if not better than anything I can remember driving. Comfort on the motorway also seems to be greatly improved.

In short, very happy with them and would recommend them to anyone.
