not the best to be honest, if you can save a bit more for fk's you'll appreciate it! the super sports are rock hard apparently..

You really get what you pay for when it comes to coil overs. If i were you id save a little more and go for the top FK ones as they are basically KONI's. You dont need to get the SS ones though. Just coat the threads in grease.

I was lookin at gettin supersports for my mk3 to drop it about 60 front and 80 rear. Would they make the ride stupidly hard or should i be ok. Didnt want to spend too much!
