FK coilovers from PVD, £480. About a million times better than the old G-max kit i used to have.

The FK kit i have is just a coilover on the front with a hight adjustable spring platform on the rear

Avo do coilovers as well, which are front and back, hight and damping adjustable £600.

Good, With the old kit it bounced and crashed a lot, not with these. If u get ones with adjustable damping u can pretty much set it how u like.

I think its bearable. It did make a big difference tho when i went from 16s to 17s, seemed alot harder with 17s.
