FK coilovers - Please

[Clone]

Hello,

Due to the constant knocking on my suspension and finding out it was a snapped spring and my other shock almost worn, I think i'm going to get some FK coilovers.

So where is the cheapest place to buy them from?

Do i need to buy anything else for fitting?

I believe all FK kits are designed to use shorter droplinks which are supplied in the kit

Cheers, so they come with the kit.

Wheres the best/cheapest place to buy them from?

Venom motorsport have the best prices that i've seen for FK coilovers.

Fitting coilovers will not cure the knocking if your ARB is shot

would be best to upgrade everything at once, right? ARB,bushes, top mounts..

Yarp it would make sense...although I can imagine it'd be quite pricey getting all that done and the coilovers

Darn it lol!

I'm not going to pay £600-700 to get it fixed

I thought new shocks all round would fix it. The mechanic said my wishbone has a some play so i would need a new one of them ( no idea where to get one - is it inc with the coilovers )

I thought it would be my ARB But apparently not...

So i may now end up buying the V-max coilovers if my car needs further work !

You shouldn't need a new wishbone, new wishbone bushes maybe - not wishbone.

And Venom motorsport were cheapest for me for coilovers.

As for wishbone bushes, just upgrade the rears to the solid cupra bushed and fit the powerflex front bushed, sorted!!!
Coilovers, if your handy with a spanner then you can change them no problems, ARB will require the wrap around bushes, same again upgrade to the powerflex ones
Drop links, if the kit doesn't come with them you can either buy new shorter ones or just cut the original one in the middle and seam weld it together to make it the perfect length
