got a set of FK srteets today and all i can say is they do look the dogs nuts cost me £193 delivered to my door also see the had new drop links included, happy days
Have you fitted the fk street yet if so whats the ride like compared to standard im looking at getting some wondered how you got on
Cheers

I put them on and I am we'll happy it's so much lower and still got loads left to go lower and to be honest I feel the ride is spot on to be fair even when my misses is in the car she normally moans like mad but she didn't even realise I did it until I told her lol

I've personally got a set of FK Highsports on my GTI, They go extremely low, there suprisingly comfortable and theres very little harshness.

Obviously buy what you can afford, but if you can invest a little bit more in the Highsports definatly reccomend them Highly. They've got much better damping, they go lower than ap's, eibachs and weitec.

Theres a massive sale in FK Germany at moment have a little search on the net that should help


Where in Germany - It's a toss up between the Highsports and the APs for me but if there is somewhere that are doing them cheap then please share.

Many thanks

Chris

I took some off last week. Went back to standards shock with eibach springs. They were ok theyre were just a bit bouncy when at high speed in my opinion so i never fully trusted them. I had them 15months. No major problems just a personal thing why i took them off. Still got mine in my boot if you want an even cheaper set to have a bash with.
They just need a jet wash n clean up

iv had fk street`s on my gti for about a year now. for the money you cant moan too much but they have non stop been rattling at the back since fitting which is slight annoying!

Ride is pretty harsh but thats what you have to expect tbh! For a cheap fix to get lows they are good but long term you are better off saving up abit more tbh as im looking to upgrade mine now

I have yes. They came supplied with the coilovers. Theyre a touch shorter than oem so if you wind them right down they dont cause any issues.
