The group buy thread lists the saloon sperstely from the avant and cab but the part number there looks the same.

Thanks Mike, The kerb weight between Saloon and Avant is only 60kg. The difference between saloon and cab is 200kg. After speaking to Ilya I think it will be fine if they are for the saloon, I just need to set them a tad higher and let them settle.

Worst case scenario I just sell them on at same price :thumb:

I can confirm that the KWs are different for the Saloon and the Avant. Specifically it's the rear springs that differ.

I know because when I ordered a set (for my Avant) I got sent a Saloon kit by mistake. I spoke to KW and they confirmed that the two setups aren't interchangeable.

Really? Well that's just pissed on my parade. Will check the part number when they arrive and take it from there.

Cheers :thumbs:

Give KW a call Si and see how much axle weight difference there is for the springs. Might not be too much anyway. Just put less dead hookers in the boot. :cry:

Well it's all irrelevant as they are damaged goods anyway, one of the adjusters is seized solid.
