***enery*** · 10th January 2011, 14:31

im now at the point where i feel my pi lowering springs might be a bit tired(3years old)
i was looking at the fk coilovers,they seem cheap and could be my next option.
im sure some on here are using them?how do they feel on the car?do they ruin they comfort of the car?
thanks.

Out of interest how are the Pi springs? Do they affect the comfort/handling?

I have PI 30mm springs and comfort is good

feels better than SRI suspension I had on before

Is it noticable that it is lowered from the sri springs? Sorry thread hijacked but it's a free bump

ah thats ok bud,the pi is a good spring for the money,slightly bumpy but mines is down 45mm with 235 35 19 tyres so its to be expected.

Rab i have read a fair bit about noises from the FK set up but that was on heavy 3.2's etc so i reckon with yours being the 1.8 you will be fine.

It will look superb

its just the ride im worried about steven,i can live with bumpy,but some people say they are a terrible teeth shattering set up.
would look awsome a bit lower,lol.

im running the full fk coilover setup on my 3.2. and so far so good. i did change all bushes, droplinks and strut bearings at the same time. no noises creaks bangs pops. just a nice firm very responsive ride!

what about comfort wise bud?

nae gonna lie to ya, when i say firm i mean firm. great for a roads and motorways. but if you do alot of b road driving i would prob go for the next model up. im on the budget ones and live in the country! but happy none the less! besides ya get to slam it to the deck!
