I do about 100 miles a month at the moment, if I was to get FK coilovers, keep them greased and check them every so often, would they be ok?

Or should Dave A sell me some GAZ ones really cheap?

FFS. Yeh they'll be fine.

Hell you could probably not keep them greased and they wouldn't rot. I've done 20k on mine now.

GAZ are excellent, just fitted some coilovers on the car and the difference with the spax is AMAZING.

would seriously recommend these.
