Pic Request - 172/182 on FK's

[The Hoff]

Awaiting my delivery, so just wanted to see some pictures of cars on FK's preferably Konigs, but any spec of FK will do.

Thanks folks.

 

[Craig.]

Are these adjustable height front and rear? or just the front with springs on the rear?

 

[The Hoff]

Both mate, fully adjustable from 40mm down to 100mm. Konigs also have adjustable dampening.

Oh if anybody has the FK Konigs maybe you could write me up a short but sweet review, and things to watch for

 

[Ali]

75mm iirc.

Subway has them. Muchos lowness, compared to LEDA's and the better brands...If thats your sort of thing.

FK silver line x's

 

[The Hoff]

Looking good Chris, how do you find the ride mate?

Ali officially yes only 70mm, but unofficially you can get them down 100mm if you wanted to..although frankly thats madness.

 

[Craig.]

I could be tempted by these, chris whats your lowered at in them pics?

 

[dannyboy172]

Looks sweet in that pic chris. I might make it over the coilies one day

They are a good set of coilovers. Ride is firm though which I like. Mines setup pretty firm although I can adjust the dampening if needed.

FK coilovers generally tend to be a lot firmer than others though I think.

As to how much i've lowered it by idk, they are just whacked down, they could go a lot lower but I don't really want to otherwise i'll be scraping my exhaust over speed bumps.

Oh and the car handles like a go-kart

NO car handles like a go kart....I hate that expression lol

FK's are decent i had them on the 1.2 and the grip was much better.

 

[The Hoff]

Are they ridiculously hard for road use? I'm coming from Koni and Eibachs. Don't mind firm, but don't want to be shaken to death.

 

[Englebert]

I've heard they are hard...nothing like the ones on the 1.2.

So what is this about 100mm cos i'm not doing 70mm, that is just ghey.

I asked for pics ages ago, there are a couple of MINT mk2s with them, very low.

 

[cK]

I took my fk's off and put them on my go-kart, hence the expression handling like a go-kart...

Here it is Mr Muhammad Ali

No they are not ridicoulsly hard for road use. They use koni inserts.

You might loose a few fillings. jk

Lol...Not std at adsa i assure you.

Dude get rid of that picture, its HUGE and it screws the forum up. I want pictures of Clios on FK's not trolleys, add a link not the picture

Well they officially drop 70mm, but 100mm is apparently possible.
