Title: Fk ak street coil overs
Post by: Adamtattooed30 on March 28, 2012, 10:38:40 pm: Hey guys I was lookin round for some springs and found that for not too much more I could get these...

I am presuming a few people on here run them, what are they like?

Sorry if there is a load of threads about this.

Pictures would be cool if anyone has them of their cars on them?

If you want super cheap and not really fussed about quality, driving improvements and longevity then these will be fine.

cheers for your reply
