Default Only experience I have with them is on my friends A4.......

He had them installed about 3 or 4 months ago. Overall he is not impressed with them. They have a GREAT ride...but WAY too soft. The car feels almost like stock, but with a lower stance. Now the left rear makes a terrible noise over bumps. My friend says he is going to get rid of the FK's and go with Stassis. Again, this is in an A4...could be different for TT's.

Default I've got the FK Konigsport...

These replaced Neuspeed Sport springs on stock shocks, and I haven't had rides in other TTs, so I can't really compare them with anything.

Lots have been said about FK coilovers on A4s, most of them negative saying they are on the soft side. But there aren't many TTers with FK coilovers here...

...good though. I don't want it to be too stiff. A little more stiff would be fine, but not much.

Default I dunno... alot of vortexers have had problems with them leaking oil among other things

if you want a similar ride maybe try KWs. The quality is supposed to be far superior to the FKs
