Far from it - the KonigSports are stiffer than the HighSports.

i had a look on fk's site, they were the only 2 sets of coilovers i fancied. but i wanted to know who voted for what because some people know more about suspension kits than others.
example/
Person A= has highsport adjustables and sells suspension kits for a living
Person B= has a totally different setup and is a breadmaker for a living
i'd trust person A's vote and reasons a lot more than person B

No, I meant what are your reasons for wanting coilovers and what do you want to get out of them.
For a daily drive and no track use I'd go for HighSports.
If you've got a heavier engine and you find the standard HighSport kit is a bit lacking then get a higher poundage spring for the front units.
If you want to take the car on a track, then get the KonigSports. They'll be stiffer than the HighSports on their "soft" setting, but give you the option for cranking it up to "firm" for track use.
For looks, FK also have Silverline and Silverline X which are a work of art.

HighSports are designed for the road - road suspension isn't about rattling your teeth out.
HighSports are soft enough for you to give your Gran a lift in the car without feeling embarassed about the ride quality, but when you want it to perform in the corners you've got that support there still.
KonigSports are closer to typical uprated suspension kits, but based on coilover technology.

Could it be the top mounts? FK told me to get new top mounts for mine as my current ones would be a bit tired.
Only about £10 each from Vauxhall.
