I have some FK in the post was just wondering if they are a straight change (no additional fixings needed)?

An was just wondering how low you can go before hitting problems, guessing 60mm?

I have also picked up drop links, spacers, and struts upper/lower

T1 11JKE - If you lower your car more than 35-40mm then you will either need adjustable drop links or uprated arb so that the driveshafts dont catch on the roll bar.

Ive just purchased a set of FK coilovers for £165 delivered from venom, cant wait to get the car sat on her batty

do a search on ebay for Golf coilovers, Venom have about 10 sets for sale. There not advertised as FK, there advertised as venom coilovers but there are actually FK ones as i called them and they said that they renamed them on ebay as FK dont like them selling on cheaper than rrp.

here's the link to the ones i bought

If FK ones are that cheap, buy them. At worst theyll be the same as hot tuning ones but blue. Nothing to lose.
