They are ok for the money. Although wish i might have saved up for longer and went for a better set. Have a knocking coming from the rear of the car and its only happened since the coilovers went in, so thinking it could be the shock! Ive been told by different people to put the OEM shock back in to see if that cures it. You putting coilovers in your car?

Went for FK AK street coilovers......Handling is ok but im not 1 for throwing the car into the corner or anything just for the looks. Though i wish now i would have waited until i got a better set. The Ak streets seem to be a very harsh ride compared to what ive had before!!
Cheers for the positive comments mate... :happy2: :happy2:
