FK vs. H&R

[mattsouthall]

I have tried a search on this and although there is lots of related comment I don't think this has been answered before

I have the 60mm suspension bolt spacing unfortunately and am weighing up the - limited - options available to me.

I don't want:
- Vmaxx / ktec etc due to their softness
- ASTs as I am not spending 50% of the car's value on suspension!

Therefore I am considering FK Konigsports and H&R. FKs are c.£650, H&R c.£900. Is it worth me paying the extra 250 given that:
- I will be using the car as a weekend/track toy only;
- They all seem to rust and leak;
- I am not an amazing driver and I doubt I will push either near to their limit.

Has anybody tried both that could comment?

Cheers,

Matt

I've had a set of H&R's fitted to my 172 now for over 3 years, and over 50k without any problems. Very impressed with them TBH.

I've not yet tried the FK's..

They're both a great set of coilovers.

Whichever you choose you won't be disappointed.

Bilstein B14's at £703?

^ dont fit 60mm.

I love H&R coilovers had them on a 172, 182 and a 197. However if its juts a toy, i'd probably save the ££££ and go for the fk's?

Double post.

I really loved my FKs they were superb, I don't know anything about H&Rs though.

where can you get FKs for the 60mm 182 cup bolt spacing? can't seem to find them!!

 

[sideways danny]

you can't, they dont exist for that fitment

I'm working on an alternative for 182 cup fitment (60mm) at the moment in the £800 region fully height and damping adjustment. Just waiting to be asked to provide the car to finalise fitment.

You have been doing this for months!
