    have i made a mistake ( coilovers )??

    ordered my coilovers for the widetrack today and not sure if i made a mistake. the ones i have bought are fk konigsport which r both height and damping adjustable but they also do a silverline version which has stainless steel threaded struts, got avos on the car which have been on for a year now but have'nt rusted yet, i can still fully adj the height and damping which is why i went for the normal fk's. price diff between the two is £50, should i phone up and order the other ones??

    never once its set, kept messing with the height when i had 17's then done it a few times on the willy wheels, pissed me off in the end tbh. my plan is to get nick to set it up and leave it at that.

    Personally i would go to a motorsport company that set it up every day....not a tuner.

    I know Fred had his set up at Northampton Motorsport....not cheap but a spot on job
