You kidding me? Compared to FK i'd say miles better. Best bet is ring up Avo and ask what coiler over kit is more suitable for your car as they have serveral ranges to suit roads cars to tarmac rally cars etc All depends on what you want out of them.
Steer clear of FK they are serial toilet!
If you can budget for more money look into KW coilovers which are weather tested so they dont corrode to fuck like the FKs

I saw that FAD the KW,s look good but for what im after there £750, at the mo i got GMAX dont come much more poo had them 2 yrs+ and still look like new, Mainly want to drop the car lower than the 60mm i have now as when i get the Whiteline bars on i can run a softer suspension setup also as the roads by me are shit

I went to buy some second hand FK's and when i saw the state of them as they came off the car...well they were rsuted to fuck and the collar to ajust them was jammed too. For 6 months old thats pretty piss poor
So i decided then to stick with Koni Ajustables as coilovers are pretty harsh for every day driving. Avo actually do a decent road coilover kit but i preffer my Konis 
Also regarding FK's what the point have a base model that height adjustable and not damping rate? pointless IMO

what and avo are good quality! dont bother getting coilovers, they are not as good as people make out, they offer no progressive spring etc, get a set of koni adjustables and eibach spings!
Fozzy, they wont bottom out if you have the damping right and the coilovers not wound down all the way.
