sellick Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Those Ak streets seem to give a good ride, but they do fall apart quickly! All of the second hand sets seem to have 'slight leaks'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 But doesn't it contain feedback on them? From the feedback I've read I'd go for the Highsports, or the Weitecs that I'm getting The FKs will go lower though. Anyway I'm sorted now so feel free to hassle madmanncfc about them 60mm rear springs if you decide to go for the AKs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Weitec Hicon GTs, don't go that low but they'll be low enough for me (will be running 15s/16s) & reports of comfort swung it cos I have back troubles but still want my loop to look & handle as awesome as she deserves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 They're second hand, I'll just say not exactly cheap by my usual budget build standards but a steal for what they are 385 seems pretty good for highsports though eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWFTW Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Yes mate.. I'm gonna buy them from Venom! Unless AwesomeAl can match the price or anywhere near the price! going to get a re-map done from them guys aswell for £150! Bargain!! I need more money though! lol!!!!

Kam Racing Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 If you're gonna go fo FK coilovers I would suggest either the Konigsport or the Silverline-X as both of these use Koni dampers.. We stopped selling FK because of the high percentage of warranty issues we came across. We got the feeling that either they were not taking the same level of care in manufacturing they used to or they were cheapening the components..I'd personally go for AP's or Weitec's if I was on a budget..

Ritch GTI Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Iv got these on my car and I'm not very happy at all the backs are just shock and springs and don't lower a lot! Pretty pointless and terrible for coilovers!! And the front are reali soft and with how low I have got mine on my car I hit the drive shaft off the chassis! But only on the right hand side bt the left side it hits the tire befor the drive shaft and when you hang it Round an island they're that soft the wheels scrap on the arch! Yes I could go higher but my friends have different sets and lower then mine and have no problem one bit! And my tracking settings want keep true! Not sure if this is due to the coils or my car?! But of I was you I would save some more and go for a better set! Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
