Rear coilovers - Advice Needed

[jjones82]

Hey guys, been offered some rear coilovers fairly cheap, just wwandering will there be any adverse affects to me fitting just the rears, and sticking oem up front? Or will it be fine?

Any advice is appreciated as to if it will be unsafe, bad handling or all fine/ better than standard etc!

Cheers for looking guys

Pretty certain it will be appalling.

Would depend on how you set them up, spring/damping rates. Front setup currently. Not worth it IMO

Appalling as in bad handling???

Not worth it due to cost or something else? As i need new rear dampers anyway and can get the rear coil overs cheaper than 2 new oem dampers, But obviously if its detrimental to the handling i wont be doing it!

I'm pretty sure it will handle like s**t. I'll be surprised if you'll find anyone that's done it tbh.

I certainly wouldn't do it to mine.

I mean I doubt you can just put them on and away you go. They will need messing with I'd imagine. Ride height will look silly unless you leave it standard, or get lower springs for the front. With a coilover set, everything is 'set up' to a degree. You just tweak it. How much and what make are they?

I have just bought some new coilovers for mine after 1 of my fk konigsport rear dampners failed. Therefore I will have 2 front fk coilover struts/springs for sale within the next 2 weeks if your interested?
