^ The V-Maxx coilover kit looks better than the other 2 budget kits below, IMO:
I would say the next 2 kits are one and the same, though?

I fitted Eibachs about 2 months ago, so I'm not in the market for coilovers - Though I wonder why they're so cheap?
For comparison - - - -

Similar, it has to be said, but the differences are probably in the internals?
^ I felt a similar sensation (like going over a cattle grid) when I was test driving a 172 last year. I assumed it was the result of an undeclared-in-the-advert 'light knock' to the n/s wing that had been repaired.

Maybe wrongly I gave that car a wide berth!
IIRC, they should only be hand tight anyway (when replacing them).
The part that fails is the bearing between the rubber bush and the top of the strut.
My n/s mount was full of road grit and appeared to have considerably more play/ wear than the o/s, making the strut knock when pulling away.
A combination of reading on here about people who modify their cars to use on trackdays, then never take them on track and sell the car soon after because they've compromised their daily drive and seeing a highly modified car for sale the other day - got me thinking: Do *serious* modifications...
Cheers lads! :)
Is it worth investing in an Eezi-Bleed system? Not sure I could get the wife's help for the time this malarkey takes! (short attention span when it comes to cars!) I've found one for £13 delivered on eBay...
