i got FK highsports, their probley about 5-10% firmer than standard gsi suspension, so they are quite soft

if u want better handleing u wanna get the FK Koinging, damping adjustable so u can make them firmer

kris, they damper adjust like any top adjustables, can ahve them 30% uprated to like 80% uprated

coilovers feel same as normal top adjustables, just that u can lower them differently, no real point unless ure gonna be lifting it up n down, TBH i never have once lol

so on that basis the lower it is it will have a longer sus travel upwards but less down, so you need too make a compromise?
