Has anyone else had experience with the Spax? Also what are people using for they cars? I would appreciate some guidance on this! Pics of your car and a review!
Thanks

Is anyone using any FK's? Any reviews?

First off Olli you need to decide what you want them for and what height you intend to run them at.
Its very hard to get a subjective review of them, because 90% of the time people are only going to big up what they have bought, you are going to have to find a very honest person to come on here and say the bilsteins i bought are really harsh or KW's are over priced.
You will also get a lot of people telling you get these they are made in the same factory as KW.  :chicken: Well thats like saying buy a 1.4 litre golf instead of a ED 30.
First off decide you budget and what you want them for. You look like the type of person who will have a different car by Christmas.  :laugh:
So you dont really need to go top of the range, So how long they last before they rust or the dampening starts getting poor is not your main consideration.
I would look at something like the Weitec range, i have no personal experience with these but they will be a similar range as the Spax.  :happy2: and get bought more for the Mk 5 platform so you should get a better idea of whether they will suit your purpose.

Thanks Topcat! :drinking:
Well if I am honest with you I plan to keep my car for 3-4 years! This is due to me being 17 and insurance. When im 20-21 I will be able to get a car with more performance! I brought the best car I could afford with the insurance! (1.6 FSI laser blue  :grin:) I plan on changing it quite a bit. All I have done so far is install a full GTI leather interior. Next is sorting out the stance and wheels.
What I want from the coilovers:
Good lowering range! I want the car to be able to be lowered quite far. I dont want to be ridiculously slammed because this is a daily drive but I would like to be as low as possible without rubbing.
I would ideally like the height to be adjustable whilst the coilovers are still on the car.
I want the ride to be sporty. good round corners etc but I do not want a really harsh ride so a little comfort is important as daily driver!
I dont want them to corrode in a month!
What is your drop and what are you running?
