Looking to get rid of my Koni adjustables and get some coilover's. Just wondering what the FK coilover's are like, how they handle, how good are they at dampening the bumps in the road, etc.
Also does anyone know anywhere that does them on a sort of finance plan, pay monthly kind of thing. I no Koni do a pay weekly/monthly with no intrest on there suspension, but Koni coilovers are alot more expensive.
Cheers

my fk ones go low enough to make the splitter almost touch the floor, and my wheels sit againts the inner arch, however id imagine the shocks would just bottom all the time
they are ok in terms of ride comfort and quality..... and i opted for them as they are camber adjustable and dont wear my tires on the insides like normal fixed shocks can....
the rule to remember is you pay for what you get with suspension

I have koni sport fixed suspension and 60mm gmax springs. Konis are only suppose to have 40mm drop max. with the 60's they bottom out and are really really bumpy and i hate it.

if you use to crap ride quality then you wont notice how crap the fk's are
get some progressive wound srpings, and not gmax stuff, and it will be better

Can anyone recommed a semi decent set of coilover's then?
I would get different springs but one of my rear dampers is leaking, a bump stop on the front is all perished also so i really want to get shot of them and get coilover's so i can go lower
