Hi all
After some coilover advice
I currently have FK Highsports on my 2004 Corsa C
I've already had to replace one of the front struts after it was leaking oil, the other one now looks to be weeping and I think one of the rear dampers is starting to seize also so i'm thinking it might be best to replace the lot with new
Looking at prices to replace with the same I found FK Highsport @ £362 which seemed a good price to me
Then on the same site I have also seen FK AK Street @ £228
Has anyone got the AK Streets on their car? Corsa C or B
Any positive or negative comments about either set?
I've had a look at other manufacturers, would anyone recommend this be a good chance to try a different set up?
Wanting to keep with a coilover set up - although if anyone has any great things to say about other stuff out there please say!
Any help greatly appreciated!

highsports are spot on if kept greased, although the AP offerings for the corsa C havent seemed bad at all lately
all of these are budget options mind

Having looked through some more stuff inc. reading various other threads on CC|UK it looks like options come to:
A new set of FK Highsports
or
VMAXX, SPAX or maybe APs
Certainly wouldn't go for the TAs i've read about, and now nor the AKs

Just been having a look and read up on the APs which seem good also
Thanks for the replys!

Fk's are pretty much same as TA Technix/Racelands.
Buy AP's are better otherwise you will get a shit ride

I thought VMAXX were better than TAs?

Again, I thought FKs were better than TAs?
I like the FK Highsports I have on now, it's a firm ride but that's what I wanted
(and have become used to)
My only complaint about the Highsports is having said I have had to replace one of the front struts after it was leaking oil, the other one now looks to be weeping and I think one of the rear dampers is starting to seize..
And all this after less than 3 years on the car and circa. 29,000 miles..
