    Agree. I had h&r suspension on my s4 unroll a shock leaked then cheaped out for a set of fk's. All they seem to do is help hold the wheel to the chassis. They have no shock absorbing capabilities at all.

    They were cheep and probably just as good as any other cheep shocks. I wouldn't advise buying cheep shocks.

    I found them to be bouncy but very hard. You could skip but have lots of body roll while hard corning.

    Found them to rust up fast. Mine started to leak quite badly with in 6 months.

    Still I get them tendencies

    The ones you posted are cheaper to buy new!! The seller is on smack or something.

    "Shameless plug" I have 2 sets of brand new coilovers, one decent and one budget, inbox me if interested.

    My Fks were already on my car when I bought it,, they did a year inculding a fair amount of track use on a 1.4, they wwere then moved onto my xe over a year ago which has seen some track use. They have been fine so far, if you have them very low then yes they will be harsh.
