| Would you do it?
Just noticed there are coilovers for £180 with a 3 year warranty.....that's mad. In fact that's what I've spent on new dampers for those sh*tty FK's!
I have FK's and they are the biggest pile of sh*t I've ever had the misfortune of owning. I think the warranty is pretty dubious but how bad could they be?
Question is, should I? |

| i think its a case of trial and error really
they're not the best quality and i doubt the warranty will stand if they've been fitted onto a modified car. |

| Dunno if the Raceland brand is any good but Danny Allen from Dubz-by-Dan is selling a set for a Mk2 Golf for £200 - dunno if this helps you at all? |

| I've decided it's just not worth it....If FK's are bad then these are bound to be awful.
Cars already slammed, now it's going back tostandard until I decide what the hell I'm going to do. Keep it/sell it, I just don't know.
FOr those not in the know it's a 2000 Bora TDI Highline, yes that's a year 2000 Highline, the one dealers tell you don't exsist but actually does! |

| Raceland coilovers are the best value for money coilovers you can buy, ive had eibach's, weitec, FK's, Tein, KW's and found the racelands to give a better ride and last alot longer! i paid just under £1000 for my KW's variant 2's and they lasted 1 month, the rear shock leaked and one of the front springs was bent! |
