i would search jason's thread or just contact them and ask them which kit is theirs... let them know why you are going that route.... maybe they will price match them..... and if all else fails.... if you clutch shoots the ****, i have my oem clutch in my garage i would sell you for like $100.... it was barely slipping when i yanked it for the new clutch..... i mainly did it so i would have stage 4 in and really broke in before upgrading power... plus i wanted to be able to drive the car spirited and not worry about ****

 

Agreed with kraut's first post. Control arms. Break one and you can end up in a crash. Break the clutch and you coast to the shoulder. Safety first man - this one is a no-brainer.

 

Oh and FCP sells on eBay - screenname is fcponline. What I did was found them on eBay, saw that the deal was better than what showed on their site, and wrote down the auction number. I called and asked if I could get the eBay price over the phone, and they did it happily.

 

I called FCP directly and got a full CA kit with TREs for $255. Pretty sure that is their group buy price which I believe is still going on AZ. They are OE parts in a FCP box. I've only got a couple days of driving on them but suspension feels very nice now. Squeeks and rattles are gone.

 

Thanks for the tips fellas.. its settled. Ill get on the horn with them today or tomorrow and pick up their kit.. McGovs, i cant wait to have that feeling hahah.. i want a tight B5 again.. ill be so stoked this year, ive been delving into looking for a b6 s4 for a while now but its just gunna have to wait.. kinda sparked that old flame for the b5 again to get her all fixed up and running perfect..

 

i did just look up FCP on ebay Jer, but they didnt have anything for sale.. im wondering if theyre still trying to do the sale thru ebay thing or if they gave up.. i guess ill just have to give them a call and see if they have any sorta special pricing going on for forum members or GB stuff..

 

here is their ebay store

hey just thot id put this out there, the surface rust, can u claim that under warranty? i know my car is still under the factory warranty for body rust.. i think i have a year left.

 

10yr warranty i believe. 2001's are on their last year. I have FCP if i recall correctly, had them for 3 yrs now with approx. 60,000km on them and its still pretty good. I'll probably end up replacing them when they reach 80,000km, but at least I paid a lot less than OEM.
