FK Factory Tour

FK Automotive – Leading from the Front

Starting in 1991, Mr. Muhlberger started selling performance parts through a mail circulated catalog. Initially offering all known names in the industry. In 1996 it was clear that there was room for another brand to surface. The interest was in suspensions and lowering springs. The development of loweing springs became a priority and in 1998, FK Automotive was born. FK Automotive distrubuted a large catalog now offering only FK branded parts. After 10 years, FK Automotive has the largest TUV certitified lowering spring programs on the market today. FK then broadened their range to include more than just supensions, and gradually the product offering was immense.
