FK AK if you want nice drop and retain comfort

Jom if you want more stiffness

How do I know, my friend got FK-AK and I got JOM and we fitted them at the same time. Thats my 2-cent, either kits are a hell lot better than the stock setup. It's your decision.
thanks m8 exactly what im after, fkak i thinks

I would defiantly go coilovers especially for the adjustable height fact as everyone has a different preference but I wouldn't go cheap e.g £200 especially the fk set as my front shocks leaked and failed and they were less then 2 years old.

I'm going for the weitec gt's in the spring bit more expensive but still cheap compared with some.

In my opinion with coilovers you buy cheap you buy twice as either they will fail or there will be a point you dont you don't like e.g the harsh ride

Mine are nearly two years and they are fine, plus for the price I can't complain. Its like the t304  replica turbos, for the price even if they last two years its worthwhile IMO, plus the cheap turbo's have been showing some good results.

Yeah I guess everyone's experiences with them will be different but Im jut sayin in my opinion i don't wanna risk buyin them and them failing again and just don't want someone to buy them and then be disappointed  :smiley:

And yeah I'm on the verge of tryin to decide on getting a eBay k04 001 or a genuine as they are a lot cheaper ha

Yeah k04-001 of ebay making me think as well as I CBA with uprating internals ontop of the bigger injectors, MAF and pump.

Apparently they require some work though, something about the waste hole may need widening and obviously the actuator needs needs to be adjusting otherwise bye bye life expectancy.

Message all the people breaking TT / LCR on ebay about fuel pumps, you will get one in the end, demand £50 posted!

Our own classifieds for breaking VR6's for MAF housings.

Ebay again for injectors, they come up reasonably often. Some Saab yellows on there atm, but apparently they are no good  :sad:  however, they are at a similar price.

I spend nearly 200 a month, every month ha..  ''Sorry luv, no food again this week, sorry''  :grin:
