I also have the FK coilies, and even though they are soft, they are alot better than standard boat factory suspension.

I know i'd rather have a nice ride than having to get a new spine every time I went round the shops.

Once you lower them a bit more, the ride gets a bit better I have to say.

I'm very happy with mine, and even after being in a mates car with the harder JOM coilies, I wouldnt change them.

Well I found that every 5mm lowered, you could feel the car cornered better. But as for bumps, still get launched into the air haha

i agree with s-l-i-x...I got some FK's and at first was a bit scared of going to low so was sensible. Holy s*** it was awful! My mate suggested going lower, so i slammed it, huge diffrence cornering wise, but yeah still take off if you hit a bump at speed. I would go lower and just see what its like, if no difference then raise it up a bit and save the slap from the mrs  :wink: :grin:
