Fk street line,

has anyone tried these before?? any good?

ye their just as good as any other mke itsbeen testd and proven

all you need to know about bying coilovers is tht its rust proof, 30% stiffer dampers, 30%stiffer

but its a fidly job with a mk4 cus u gt springs nd damper on bk not coilovers so its a bich to adjust


but fk is a decent mke, joms anothe good mke just keep away from jamex lol

alright mate, im runnin on FK AK street coilovers myself m8, simple to fit and adjust m8, the front are full coilovers but the rear are height adjustable springs with uprated shocks, for the rear it took bout half an hour to an hour pending on whether or not the nuts have seized on the shocks, and bout an hour to hour an half for the front, once there on its a nice comfortable ride, not to hard an bouncy, ive still got another 5mm in the rear to go down and another 25mm in the front but dont wana risk goin to low as the rear engine mount is only 2in from the ground now!! hope this info was of use m8!!

tbh iv found jamex to be alright on mk4s, it things like 106s they are crap, iv been running jamex for over a year now with no problems

u running just springs or.... coliover set


i had jamex lowering springs on my mk4 1.6, nd without uprated dampers the wer usles, just mde the back end twich like hell :s


but suspension setup on a mk2 nd mk1 i thinks much better thn the mk4 i had, its coillovers all round, anti roll bars frnt nd back

the jom kit i gt on mine i thinks amazing, keeps the car level, rebounds straight nd its adjustable nd rust proof so im happy

to be fair you did only lower the back and thats probably why its common knowlege to make the back "twitch" they need to be stiffer than the front.

blow the boat out an get highsports, as AK streets are just a branded version of TAteckniques

you stop your TA tachniks bashing
there not bad if your used to them and they do the job cheaply

if i had a choice though id go for FK highsports

arnt TA's just a cheap form of ripping your suspension out and replacing it with bricks????

probably

i dont mind em at all tbh, plus i feel better about cuttin them too

will upgrade if i ever can

id go for kw inox line coily best out there!

well ive been offerd street line's for £180 ffront adjustable, and rear drop 40mm non adjustable. All boxed and brand new?

how much drop is there for the front and is there shocks with the rears, they dnt sound like the 1s i have!!

Adjustable front suspension legs 20mm to 50mm ,fixed rear axle height 40mm

nah, there not the same as mine my rear shocks an springs are yellow but have a height adjustable platform which the spring sits on, think thats how all mk4 rear coilovers cum, an the fronts are special chrome silicon steel and zinc plated with fk engraved in them which are silver in colour not yellow, ive had them on since september an am still really pleased with them, but every1s got there own opinion with coilovers, im up on uk-mkIVs and mentioned id put fk ak streets on mine, an there were others on there that had used them aswell and were over the moon with them, but there was this 1 bloke who jst said there a load of bollocks an that ive wasted my money an i should go out an buy another new set that were like £900 or summit stupid like that, an then every1 with fk's turned on him then, he didnt friggin like that i tell ya!!

Right these are Fk Ak's there fk's budget brand...... mmmm

word of advice

go halfrauds nd get clear laquer nd give them a few coats, i seen them paint flake off quite easy befre they rust
