kayla :) Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yeah i am! i see you are too, but i've never seen you... i dont think lol, its normally just OAP's driving around in lupos.I work in the town centre and always out in the lupo, the ride i've got mine at is zero problems with speed bumps, i still take them a bit slow just to be careful Where abouts do you live?ha there's loads of little lupos around northampton being wasted on OAPs! thats how I need mine to be, I don't want to destroy my car if I miss one though!Ah where do you work? I live in Moulton, what about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penry Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Can i just add a late reply to this- if you're going for the AP's then grease them well before you put them on. They need to be kept on top of otherwise the adjusters will sieze, especially as they dont have 2 locking rings, just one with a little allen bolt in it to secure it. (That little bugger is siezed solid on mine!) Very good coilovers, but i'd pay that bit extra for Silverlines again if i was to do it over again...

penry Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Just seen this late again Nah not high maintainence, just make sure you grease them well before they go on as its a pain once they are in place to get a brush on them. Make sure they have a good coating of copper grease, ive just noticed it a lot more compared to my old bulletproof silverlines that literlly took a light once over with a wheel brush to come up like new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Personally I wouldn't bother with FK Coilovers. The quality really has gone absolutely downhill in the past few years! The last set I dealt with had the lower mounting brackets welded on upside down and when I contacted FK about the warranty, they stated "Well if you had a proper mechanic fitting them he could have re-fitted it the right way round".The AP's are much more comfortable on the Lupo's than the FK's ever were too!
