Right fitted the fk rears monday, set them to the lowest possible ride height id say is 60mm
weather was crap so finally got chance to do the fronts today!
Fitted them with height set about half way!
New bolts all round along with tie rod ends.
I would say that half way is about 45mm for future reference!
So then after that dropped car of axle stands, and strung the car,
lots of toe out so adjusted that and strung the car to set the toe to neautral, and the camber using some wood and ruler!
Decided wanted the ride height lower so dropped down 10mm more so id say 60mm all round now!
Took the car to 4 wheel tracking centre, got castor, camber, toe, thrust etc etc all sorted and the only adjustment needed was the toe in, camber was perfect using the stringing idea and toe was 1 degree out so happy with that!!
BUT
must say the ride is pretty good, not bumpy but feel the road thats for sure, throwing car into fast corners roundabouts it feels very balanced and neutral which is good. Id seriously reccomend getting the koni adjustables for the rear as this feels so much better and tighter!!
So all sorted now!!

I didnt have my camera its at uni or i was going to do a full feature on them!
But i will reccomend them, much better ride than full koni adjustable setup, just get the rear koni shocks and whatever springs are needed for the engine

he can do you a deal where the rear shocks are swapped for the koni adjustables direct at the fk factory! But you have to have thse on a special order and obv the price will increase

As you dont need the rear shocks knock £40 or so off the price then add the cost of the koni adjustables!
Speak to toby!!
