Which Coilovers, FK Highsport or V-Maxx?

[Kizza9]

Which Coilovers do you lot think I should get out of these 2? they are both in my price range cos tbh I don't really want to be spending 800+ on coilovers

FK Highsport - http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=7758&manufacturer=FK&category=Suspension

V-Maxx - http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=39930&manufacturer=V-Maxx&category=Suspension

What I'm trying to say, is buy the FK's.

if you want you can go also with these - http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=280&manufacturer=AP&category=Suspension. i bought them + complete powerflex set for wishbone, arb and dogbone.
they are the non-inox KW V1, and they are excellent. i have them now for cca. 8000 km (no leaks, creaks, strange sounds or whatsoever) and i used them on track also.
keep in mind i had before Koni adjustable shocks + springs, and these AP Coilovers are for me way better.

FK

just fitted a set of the Vmaxx to my car, only had them on for a few days but handling seems better, the ride is firm but no worse than OEM shocks. Easy to fit and adjust, no idea about the FK's tho!

FK's over v maxx anyday. and i have v maxx on my 182 so what does that tell you?

H&R...

 

[krisclio]

fitted my fk's tonight,what a pain fronts where,the bit on the strut that has the two holes and bolts to the hub was too tight and had to widen it abit,but alls well now,gonna mess with the height tom,sittin on its balls at the moment and needs put up a bit. feels great on the road though,not much body roll nice and stiff but not too hard

 

[JackJack]

FK imo.

Lets hope they dont leak. We've stopped selling FK due to too many failures and their long and drawn out warranty process. People should look at AP coilovers as an alternative. Owned by KW.
FK owners should make sure they keep their purchase invoice..

AP coilovers mate, or KWs youll be talking basic KWs for that money though. i have APs, rate them highly

 

[CBetts]

Anyone else running AP's? looking at some coilovers soon and these could be in the running. Not seen them discussed much on here yet, how do they compare to say the Bilsteins?

 

[Kam.]

AP are KW's budget brand, Bilstein are not a budget brand. Quality control may be as good, but the Bilsteins will outperform.

How long does the warranty last?

 

[Kam.]

two or three years at the top of my head. The real question is can you afford to not use your car for a couple of weeks while your dampers are sent away for testing and replacement and the cost of having them fitted? The warranty will not help you recoup that cost.

 

[CBetts]

AP are KW's budget brand, Bilstein are not a budget brand. Quality control may be as good, but the Bilsteins will outperform.

So if we are talking "budget" coilovers, in this range we have Vmax, FK's, Ktec's and AP. The AP's are the best option?

Next stage up is above the £500 mark - Bilstein, Gaz, Spax, Weitec etc.

same reason I wont sell H&R's. fall apart, and the last set I took off for someone took almost 6 months to have fixed

Don't forget the FK Konigsports not bad for the money.
