No, but it will be higher than KW for shure.
As i said, you can't compare with the KW 2 tube systems.
RSC has much more performance, quality, adjustment possibilities, unibal at front and rear etc. etc.
so it's totally not important to compare the price with a product, who can only the half of a RSC.
 
Ok, forgetting KW Automotive, how much is your setup minus the can of WD40? You said price depends on model and equipment. So in my posistion I will need ph2 compatible struts, some form of camber adjustment front and rear and some form of castor adjustment for the front.
 
the can of WD40 is for free! :rofl:
as you seen in the picture of the under steel brackets, you will have long holes für adjusting the camber at the front and rear.
and also camber adjustment at the rear upper aluminium camber plates.
at the front, it will be a fixed unibal joint at the upper mounting position (i think, this part will come to a later time, and the first kits can be ordered with oem mounting at this point.
i calculate for the whole kit between chf 3600.- and 4000.- but as i said, not yet fixed.
 
It's a sellers market; particularly as the OEM product is no longer available.

When your suspension fails - what else can you do?

This club needs to find a plan: Appoint a spring manufacturer to copy plus find a firm to recondition the struts?

The acceptable pricing of components is relative to the Vee value. If Vees were commonly changing hands for £60k-£70k (as 5 Turbos do) then Arno's components would seem reasonable.

The Swiss exchange rate unhooked from the Euro a couple of years ago and since then everything manufactured in the country has become unfortunately expensive.

As I see it Arno is manufacturing a quality suspension mainly for serious use on the track and as such his product is reasonably priced.
(None of us have control over the exchange rate).

Personally I would always put quality above a cheap fix and the bonus here is that we know there will be an improvement over the standard setup.
Arno does at least give another option, all be it over specced for driving to the shops.

To all who just wish to replace OEM components and are happy with the 'as delivered' handling of their vee there are firms that will copy a spring and recon a shock, in which case they have no interest in Arno's products and should not comment in this thread.
 
^^^totally agree. It's just there there is a complete lack of 'off the shelf' options at the mo for the OEM option. The comment was not meant to be disrespectful to Arno's product.

Sorry I didn't think that you personally were being disrespectful to Arno's product, maybe others in earlier posts.
Having a grumpy morning, i've hurt my back and can't work on the car !
 
As an illustration:
A kw costs in Switzerland about chf 2800.- and it can be much less. With my offered technology, I'm never too expensive.
