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?

If it were me, I'd work a few extra hours OT and pick up a good set....

dont do it, hottuning coilovers are evil. if you like being thrown about like youre in a washing machine then get em haha

Copie has them on his A3 and said they are fine buckers and same platform as yours.

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?

all depends what you like? if you dont mind ride comfort then get them its a cheap way to make your car sit really low!

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!

if you goin get rid buckers can i have first dibs ion the sport rear lights!!!!

they do them jamex ones to i keep seeing for like 200 quid and they are tuv approved and 2 years warranty they look ok

i have heard the hottuning ones stick lol

if you jack one side up then they stick down on the other and stay to high on the jacked up side

depends what you're offering Wrighty....you gotta make it worth my while

anyway, not really decided but after Ed38 I have a few ideas.....

I have them on my a3 and they are fine, they are as low as they go, done at least 4k miles on them on a variety of roads, I find if anything they are a little soft

The trouble i have had with fk products and there customer servies i would touch them again ever

well if you getting rid at a decent price ill have em off you mukka

ive concered these ebay coilovers for what you pay they cant be that bad

off to pick up my standard shocks n springs now.....gonna be riding high again soon

haha just like me then mate remember arch gap kills!!!!
why dont you get some 40mm springs or sumit

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!

Theres a company name rokkor on ebay! i had them on my mk4 astra van 150 with 3 year warranty and cant grumble!

i mean you never going to have a comfy ride from just height adjustable suspension

and if you wana go low there perfect!
