£1400 for coils most ppl's cars are not worth that much  :grin:

that's true  :grin: but a broad range of options and price ranges are the aim of the thread. So to cater for all  :smiley:

Review of FK-AK and Joms

I know of both since I got Joms and my friend got FK-AKs at the same time. Both have good drops, with the FK-AK's are able to drop a tad more over the JOMs. If you are looking for an extremely firm ride the JOMs are the way to go with a slightly lower than standard drop they are a lot stiffer than the stock setup but not to much of a compromise. Yet with a descent drop they are very firm. FK-AKs are an improvement over the stock setup yet retain a very nice comfort, even with a big drop in comparison to the JOMs they are still comfortable. So if you want stiffness JOMs, if you want improvement in ride but still like your comfort then FK-AK. Both have been on for over 2 years with no problems, either way they are a huge improvement over the stock setup!

Saw this on another forum when searching around and thought it was a great idea. Basically it's one thread giving personal reviews of kits that you have tried and tested. This is all in one thread to save people searching through thread after thread for reviews. Please only right a review if you have personally tried the kit and list the following:

Name of kit
Price
Your review of the kit, ride, quality etc etc.

Please no posts asking if a kit is good just read the reviews and make up your mind which coilovers suit you best  :smiley:

I'm in the market for some at the moment so can't start the reviews so hopefully someone will start it off for me below  :grin:
