Well FKs are really really bad anyway so probably be worse than springs/damper setup lol

What colour is your springs?

[Mieran]

Btw they don't effect the ride quality at all, their job is to keep the spring in place when the car is jacked up

I had blue fk's and thought they were okay for daily driving, a little hard but handled well.
