Bickerton Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Are most coilovers ride heights based upon them being about 20mm shorter than standards stright from the box so infact a 60mm drop would as such be 80mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 No.Don't worry too much about measurements, all coilovers will lower your car as much as you want. Don't pay much attention to how much people say their car has been lowered either, as I think most people just make it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(fk)Kit i have otw are the Weitec hicon which i have been lead to believe will be a little more sturdy and reliable than the fk highsport set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunB Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) FK AKs? Any recent reviews? Edited October 22, 2010 by ShaunB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudaz Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 just read this whole thing and am more tempted to AP's now over FK's but im worried that they will not go as low. Does anyone have 1st hand experiance of this? will they both go down to the same level?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott-Thomson Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hi, was wondering what the difference is with JOM Bluelines, and JOM Redlines ?, anybody got the redlines ?, they are £100 dearer than the bluelines.Thanks,Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevesLupoS Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah pics would be very helpful actually, for those who are worried if the coilovers mentioned above wont go low enough could those who have bought one of the aforementioned lets us see them at their lowest, was wanting FK silverlines but as a few have already said im now swayed towards the AP option, states they will lower the car 95mm, is that up front or all round ? ? ?

gameoner Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 bit of a silly question, but are all lupo coilovers the same? where the front is a full coilover but the rear is the weird lowering spring adjuster thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99hjhm Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Speedy response! cheers 99hjhm Well some cheap FK's don't even have the adjuster, so fixed height rear, but just avoid FK's all togeather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ell.s Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Just put my APs on yesterday as I heard nothing but good reports about them it's an awesome quality kit I've been in a loop with TA technix and thought it was horrendous stay clear of them, and FKs all you hear of is peoples rear dampers blowing.
