Coilovers?
« on: 03 July 2010, 09:58 »
What would you recomend?
I've just had a look at the HOTTUNING coilovers and they seem to be a good price,

Any info and price's would be appreciated  :smiley:

Fk if your on a budget, weitec if you have a bit of money of bilstein if you have money-fights! Fk's are fine IMO. Look on venom motorsport pal

I've got the hot tunning ones and have gotta say they ain't great  :cry: deffo worth saving for a better set really as i am doing now lol
The hot tunning ones are good for the money but as with everything generally the more you pay the better.
Fk better budget ones
Weitec good mid range
and Bilstein, K&W and Eibach are top end but very very good  :cool:

So FK seem fit for purpose?

I really just want them for my cars stance. I'm lowered on 50mm Weitec springs at the moment and as you can image lowered on 50mm springs isnt great for the ride lol

What model FK's would you recomend and does anyone know roughly how much ££?
