Spax coilovers are quite good, yesh. Most people go for FK or Avo as they're an easy choice.

Remember though, for every person that has a problem with FK coilovers, there's about 20 others that are happy with them.
You'll rarely hear good reports about anything, only negative comments.

Spax are better than FK.
I'm not trying to be negative but i had two sets of FK and i was very unhappy with both. the first set corroded through in about 4 months and the second were just very badly made.
Gaz are the best

So theres:
Spax - RSX Height Adjustable Kits £524.99
FK - HighSport Coilover Kit - £429.00
Koni - SSK Kit - £390.00
theres them 3 on potn but only the fk's say they are coilovers, are the others coilovers too, as there all adjustable, but fk go the lowest.

Theres nothing wrong with FK coilovers at all in my book.
The fitting trouble you will have with ANY coilovers not just FK and for the momney the FK's are good.
I just wish i had spent the extra and got adjustible konigsports but thats my fault not FK's

The spax are only height adjustable at the front, the rears are set -60mm which is one of the main reasons i went for FK setup.

So where is your justification? where is the value of your post that i used up valuable bandwidth to download?
The Spax RSX kit is pretty good imo. I fitted the kit to my Corsa GSI at xmas whilst i was doing a c20xe conversion. I have had no problems whatsoever. However... the rear of my car went slightly lower than intended but im not too fussed about that as im not getting any scrubbage or anything

I've had spax on my car since april and I have no probs at all. The rears are set at 80mm i think and you can't adjust them. you can adjust the height on the fronts and the damping on front and rear.
