Now it would be great to hear about the FK's.

That isn't a bad idea Melvin, I have a 530 and you have a 545 - 2 different suspensions. It would make it a more complete test of you join me. LOL we can even have an install party at my place

(bring your brake pads too)

Bunch of money for Koni's you CANT adjust. Imo a fixed ride height is much better matched with adjustable dampening for street use and you save a bunch of money too

You'd be surprised, coilovers such as KSport and Nex are not that expensive and offer way more adjustability than simple struts/springs. Also since they are so cost effective they are easily comparable in price as well.

Can't WAIT for my KSports to get here!!!!!!!!!
