I wanted to sell FK stuff but their dealer setup was wierd...... you had to pay extra fees each month for advertizing.... and they only dropped the fees if you bought lots of parts.

Anyways.... FK America is out of British Columbia....and there are dealers in the USA and Canada.

The coilovers were around $1000 and yes.... the Kadette MKII coilovers fit the lanos... hmmmm.... I think the MKII is the Kadette E.... I will have to check with Tom.... I keep forgetting.

I verified that my 2000 Daewoo Lanos was identical to Tom's 1992 Pontiac Lemans ( which is a Kadette in other parts of the world )

The differences were very minor.

Ya.... Kadette E = Astra MK II = Daewoo Lanos

Have fun.... they have lots of cool stuff.

If I find my dealer catalog and dealer price list I will let you know.

Chris....please stop calling the Kadett "Kadette". Its like calling my Kadett a Honda or Lemans LOL

For those of you who want to jump on the strut brace idea, it will be direct bolt on for Racer/Cielo/Lemans/Nexia. It "should" fit Lanos, but at least 1 extra hole must be drilled, as Lanos' upper strut mount has 3 bolts as opposed to 2 in the Lemans.

Kadette .... Sorta sounds like another name for a girl scout :P

Sorry Tom.... from now on I will call it an Astra MKII instead.... Astra is easier to spell.... anyways... it really should be Astra since a Vauxhall is to Opel like Pontiac is to Chevrolet :P

All kidding aside..... either Tom or I have the FK catalog.... I've sorta forgotten about FK.... I will have to see what they have again.

Oh ya..... I moved this out of Classifieds to General since I'm not really planning on selling FK stuff anymore.

Hmmm.... I was checking out stuff and they have "Group N pipes" that replace the catalytic converter.

They also have Kadett E rotors.... normal (236mm,256mm)and GSI (261mm)

Oh.... under suspension... they do list Daewoo Lanos and Nubira for High Tec spring kits.

Hey Chris!!! I just found the catalogue

Cool..... bring it into work tommorow.... I want to check out a couple of things.

above all else, i'm interested in the coil-overs!!!! price em up!

Post by **PrecisionBoost** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 12:17 am

I can give you my 2004 catalogue retail pricing for almost everything but it's in Euros.....so there is a little bit of a difference in price.

Strutbars.... well.... the FK North america lists two... but neither seem to be the same as the catalogue.

The alloy bars are adjustable and made of aluminum

In the catalogue the Alloy strut bar for the Kadette E ( FKD00P001 ) is 89.90 euro

Then they show two other Alloy strut bars for the Kadette E (FKD00P013 & FKD00P019) as 44.90 euro

The red steel strut bar ( FKDKOP10 ) is 76.95 Euro

Now for the Coil over kits.....

The Kadett E Highsport kits are $849.00 Euro
( sport tuned but not adjustable shocks/struts )
I found a listing in my dealer list and I think the price is $999.00 USD

The Kadett E Konigsport coilover kits are $1049.00 Euro
(feature adjustable Koni shocks/struts )
I think they are $1119.00 USD

Personally.... I think both kits are a decent deal.

The Daewoo High Tec spring kits are $139.00 Euro

The Opel Kadett E High Tec spring kits are 99 Euro,109 Euro,119 Euro depending on drop and they list a "complete" suspension package for 309 Euro which includes springs, struts and shocks (shocks/struts are setup to be correct for drop level required )

Drop is from 35mm to 75mm depending on the kit

Seats vary in price... I see 249 Euro to 399 Euro with most around the 300 Euro range (think this is per set)

Keep in mind these prices are a year and a half old.... so the prices might have changed.... hard to say.

In general the dealers are going to have a discount level of around 25% so they won't have a whole lot of room to move on the pricing.

If I figured I could sell $10,000 worth of stuff per year... I'd probably become a dealer.... as that is the minimum buy in.
