Whats everyones opinion on this FK coliover kit from k-tec?? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=854http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=854
I just want to go 60mm front and rear for everyday drivin and maybe lower for shows etc and lift them to 30mm for MOT so the car could get on the rollers
No one ever bother adjusting Coilovers for road/show use its to much effort.
Anyway a 60mm droip likly to be about 40mm and the fact is the harder springs will mean the front wont bounch around as much so you wont hit anything. I had mine down a 60 claimed on coilovers (which is lower than 60 on sprtings etc) and on stock tyres I never caugh anything regardless of speed I hit speed bumps at. To giove you an idea you could just get my nobia phone under the front splitter.
FKs are about £500 I think and if you live down south theres a place which fits them for free I think.#I cannot get ither of the above links to work but Eisbeck are a good company but Id always go for coilovers for maxmim lowering.
There a few people with Fks and they all like them.

My cars lowered 60mm at the moment on 18s so wouldnt want it any higher than 60mm and sits just rite.
The Fks r £480 all in. My car has a bodykit on it that why i need to adjust it for the likes of MOT instead of changin the bumper. Also the car should handle alot better and wouldnt be as bouncy id hope.
Why dont you use a company who import the coilovers it cuts out the middle man i think it would save you a few quid http://www.provenproducts.co.ukhttp://www.provenproducts.co.uk
Nope never did any harm to my car.
I dont know where these rumours started Freds cars lowered ~100mm and his has kinked but it was like that before it was lowered.
Maybe with very very hard custom springs hitting a lot of pot holes and with other suspension work it might put a lot extra load but I would never use that as a reason not to lower the car its superb.
KW are the same sort of thing regards level 1 ,2 and 3 as FK. Either one is better.
Theres some pictures of mine in member profile of my car with stock 15s on Spax lowered 40 at the front and 60 at the back on coilovers. Fks can go lower I think at the front on there normal springs (upto 10mm I think) any more and you need to fiddle with the arch liner or remove them.
"Navy" N17 TWO
This all started a few months ago from another site when a lad (yup -in N.Ireland)had a dci clio lowered 40mm with G-Max springs and OEM shocks
Even seen photos of the kinks!
In all fairness the lad did tell me he took a hump-back bridge a little bit too fast (60-70) and heard a "BANG"
I rekon it will only happen if you drive the crap out of the car on crap roads - just a guess though
****************************************
Im also interested in either H&R or FK coilovers
Quick!
Someone look outside - see if pigs are flying!
Someone else run down to Tesco - check if the price of bacon has gone up
I was thinking of a 40mm Apex kit as I have the front bumper to keep off the ground - but since its proving hard to keep in 100% condition anyhow - looks like a touch-up every so-often or a respray if it really needs it.

There all real however Freds car got custom springs lowering his car more than Fks will let you. The other car is a 172 Im not sure how different a Mk2 2 is to a Mk 2 1. Both of those cars have had there arch liners removed I think.
Regard kinked roofs - He must have hit the speed bump way to fast almsot accident speed. I hammered mine when I had it on some bad back roads and nothing ever happened.
