Fks - Iv been searching

[AdamRoutley]

i know coilovers and suspension set-ups have been covered a million times but im just curious on these EXACT ones http://www.rimstyle.com/pages/produ...ble_co;type=fk_highsport;model=1050;id=FKSEHI are they any good? because i dont have a huge budget but i dont want a "shocks and spring" set-up, i want something i can adjust myself down to as low as i want...thanks

I had these fitted on my Cupra TDI and I thought they were fair value for money. Have changed them for Koni coilovers and IMO they are well worth the extra.

YHPM.

Quite stiff but certainly hold corners easier.

I got FKs on mine.

Cant complain...

 

[AdamRoutley]

well you know my feelings towards your car MDS...need i say more *desicion made!!!*

thanks pal!

 

[MDS]

ehheheh.... thanks...


Remember that if you want to drop here a little further on the TDI model you will need to fit the FK sway bar... or it will knock on the transmission...

 

[AdamRoutley]

good job its the petrol how low do you recomend taking it before i need to buy anything else ie- arbs/strut braces

(ps, i like low riders, so as low as poss)

 

[MDS]

Im not sure about petrol if they knock anywhere.

Maybe try 3.5cm for a start.

Its low and wont knock anywhere...


If you like em low... try 4cm then if it knocks work your way up.

But just by fitting the coils you wont know how high or low until they are actually on the car.


Fit them with max height.

Then subtract the height...

See these pics of when I fitted coils. Crazy Stuff...

Some pics of her on 17s... Gets a little bit lower than on 18s.

I think it was about 5.5 n the pic.

I often miss the car like that... but now.. theres no going back

I dont mean to spoil the show however i am really not a fan of FK, their build quality compared to Eibach, H&R, Koni, KW is really poor. You can get much better sets for just a tiny bit more.

By all means get them if you feel they are right for you and if you are pleased with performance then great

 

[MDS]

You are correct.

FK is like entry level stuff.

I just opted for them due to their price ...

But i cant complain....


I am aware that they are no like many other High End kits...

But for the price = MAGIC !

hehe MDS, i mean if they work for you then great

I just want to give people a different angle so they know what they are getting and that way they can be happy in themselves.

Now for the dark side...

One started dripping oil... had it replaced.

Now the other has started.


but bare in mind the car now has +/- 270 Hp and they take a jolly good hammering very often.

I think if you want em for the look , OK .

If you want coils for action... maybe, just maybe not....
