i hope you dont intend on lowering or heightening the coilovers and more than they are, have you seen the state of the threads. another fantastic job by fk.

looks like whoever had them put them on in a hurry and didnt grease them up either and also tightened the rings up far too tight, you should never tighten them so much that you damage them.

how much did you pay?
