Coilovers

Post by big_skyz »

Hi, I'm after a set of adjustable coilovers, here's the thing, budget.

Iv found a couple which I can afford on eBay, Jom or FK AK Street.
I've tried to find some help on which ones to get but I think too many people are comparing them for track,
They will be used everyday, and I'm leaning towards the Jom.
I also read that sellers say lower 20mm - 100mm but apparently I've heard they only drop 60mm.

Hope that's clear as I'm usin my iPhone.

If u know of any other budget adjustable coilovers please let me know but I don't want people mention stuff like "get billstein" if there over £200ish

Thanks

go for the FK setup, plenty of us on here are running the FK's and the lowering well, iv had to raise mine on the front because it was to low and the rear comes with adjusters and just leave them out to go down to about 70/80mm drop. the only problem you'l have is the clearance issue between the inner wall of your tyre on the suspension strut due to it being a coilover setup the springs are further down as such. you'l have to run 195 !45! 15 because if you have any bigger then the tyres bulge and they can catch on the coilover and rip them apart in no time. but apart from that the FK's or any cheap coilover setup is good enough.
