FK Automotive Coilovers

[Matty]

Had these on my valver since monday and cant believe how good they are. As the internals are Koni they are roughly set to the mid point on Koni adjustables and arent too harsh at all.

Car is all point and go now with corners being taken a lot quicker and any direction change instant.

The shocks themselves are impressive coming nicely packaged and fully assembled unlike some brands. The tools for adjusting the lockrings on the coilovers dont round them (KW do) and you even get a can of protective spray to coat the threads etc for winter.

Even better is the fact that you get a lifetime guarantee if installed by an FK approved fitter. Got mine done at Performance Driven in Taunton and they were excellent.

I might be after a set of coilovers soon - prices?

Was £472.39 including VAT and they had an offer on where they included fitting FOC if you ordered them before end of last year.

I paid a deposit and got them fitted as fitting was worth about £160. Got new Dome bearings to go with them at £26 each as they old ones were sloppy. Got wheels balanced again with hidden weights at £20 and they did the laser tracking thing which required freeing the drivers side track rod which was seized £18 for that as the tracking was part of the fitting. They even fitted my new rear disks and pads free.

Really worth going for as FK do stuff for all Clios inc 172. Lifetime warranty is a bonus so long as you get fitted by an authorised fitter. If you check their website out and you can see what they are about:

3 versions available: Highsport which is what I got, Konigsport which are the adjustables and Silverline which are top of the range made out of stainless steel.

Id give Simon at Performance Driven a call on 01823 338696 and see what they can do, I am well impressed with what they have done to my car. Or check out their website at:
