What do people think to these coilovers? Go to 75mm so seems perfect for me, just wanted to know if people have had problems with these or even good views on them?

Sounds good, will have to invest in a month or so! Will be nice to have some new suspension. Better than the G-Max rubbish shocks I have now

I'm not worried about how low it goes, just want to know if they last.

Imo yeah, amount of pot holes etc about, hence why if it was me, id go for the cheepys, if you destroy them, buy another set, still wouldnt have spent as much on 2 cheap sets, as you would on 1 set of FK's
