I've been browsing the web and seen some at a reasonable and within my budget of £360 ish
Now i've recently learned that SPAX will catch on an et49 rim meaning id need spacers.
I've herad bad things about FK so it probably stands for F**king Krap
So i saw these and thought they might be an option.
What are your opinions as i cant find reviews on any of these. Usually reviews are faulse anyway because knowone wants to diss their new shockers do they ?
Thanks in advance

to be honest i would swear by FK, ive had about 5 sets on 5 different cars and can't fault a single one, all of them were the highsport model....weitec coilovers are very good and better than FK in my opinion as a number of my mates run these on their dubs...

as a coilover they arent great, not the best build quality but as good as you would expect for the cash.
cheap coilover Vs a decent fixed rate kit is easy, get a decent fixed rate/height kit.
I havnt seen a coilover kit under the £500 mark that is any good.
