Looking to buy some coilovers and have searched the forums and still dont know which ones to go for as some have +'s -'s etc.

Just really want to lower the car a fair amount and improve the body roll and handling etc.

Am stuck between 3 choices,

1) FK Konigsports, cheapest ive found is 595 including VAT and delivery
2) FK Silverline. cheapest 505 including VAT and delivery
3) Silverline x, not cheap at 647

i want something that will last and not be all that harsh as i commute alot with the car and will very rarely do a track day.

Just need a balance i guess so looks (lowering) and comfort and durability

Anyone with experiance with any of these kits... lemme know what you think and reccommend and dont!

cheers

Had a look at a set of VMAXX / RIDE HEIGHT COILOVERS and they are a hell of alot cheaper than the FK's and it doesnt seem to say if there are stainless steel or anything.

Whats their quality like compared to FK?
 
Forgot to say,

my budget is 500-600 there abouts. Cant go over 700 as i need to get it fitted and laser alligned aswell.

Am open to other brands, dont just have to be FK, i know the KW's are abit pricey and from what ive read they are more or less the same as fk's.

Also looked at a set of blisten b14's but have not heard anything about them so not sure. Any reviews of Blisten's form anyone?
 
KW are not more or less the same as FK. Quality is quite abit better on the KW. Silverline kits you have listed are exactly the same as the standard kits but with a better looking finish so have no better quality in any other area as such and will only get dirty like the others anyway. Konigsports are pretty good. Look at Koni and Spax coilovers aswell.
