Not sure where it was coming from, but i think its the bottom bolt hole and rubber not being a good fit. but 2 of my mates have fks and they both knock aswell, its just an FK thing i guess.

The spax cost me 125 quid, and i absolutely love em, rate them so much!!




i ment where you buy spax's from,

Personaly i would have gone for a hidden tip behind the bumper if you're keeping with the euro theme.

Those wheels must be a bitch to clean

Yeah true, my bore was smaller to start off with, and he stretched the steel to a bigger bore for the tip to slide onto.
