right a guy on the c2 forum has a set up for sale... £150 because one of the shocks is busted so will have to get a replacement one.....
do people think its worth getting the set and replacing the damaged shock?
trying to find out how much a replacement fk shock would be but cant find anywere that does replacements etc thought

styledynamix should be able to sort you one. dont bother using rimstyle though you'll be waiting til next year..

got to ask yourself if it was that easy to get a replacement or wallet friendly - why aint the bloke done it?

cheers dude il give them an email now

true robbie buts he only recently sold his old c2 and is selling the bits off it.

what exactly is wrong with the shock. as you can fix them.

wel he said the shock is burst

burst??? as in the seals have gone? if thats the case you may be able to get hold af a rebuild kit. Of it its actually got a hole in it....i have in teh past drilled them, tapped out the hole and put a bung in it. Or welded them.
Just an idea if you cant get hold of one.

cheers apple il give him another message now asking if he can take a photo and describe as much as he can how its burst.

ive heard a replacemnt is over £100 , making these far to dear IMHO

wel i was thinking about it.....
new set the cheapest iv seen is £350ish
second hand set (undamaged) are selling around £250
this set is £150, if a new shock is £100 making it £250 then it would be ok right?

i tried the place you said gav and he suggested venom motorsport, said they are the biggest suppliers of fk, going to ring them up tomorrow and see about a qoute..... fingers crossed if it does need replacing it wont be too bad..

was thinking too though, if say the the shock to replace was stupidly expensive. if i bought uprated shocks for a c2 seperatly could i fit them instead...such like these

i know it seems a bit silly having to buy another set, and why not just get springs/dampers instead of coilovers, would prefer coilovers for ease of use, theres alot of speed bumps by me! lol

i rang up the place today and they said that a replacment shock will cost £90ish ...so totaly price of the kit would be about £240 so prety good i think!
im going to pm the guy now see about more photos etc

EDIT...
found some photos!
heres the kit, needs a bit of a clean tho! lol

damaged shock...


what do people think? should i get them?

they look well fooked !!! , save the extra money

you think?
just looks like dirt etc to me

i agree
are fk any good?, because i have just brought a set

been told they goood for c2s
updated pics.....
they do look alot better!

paints come off the spring a bit but can easily sort that out

i hate to sound like a kill joy but if you have to ask about it its probably not a great idea id save n buy em new it could be a costly excercise otherwise that shock has seen much better days

what do you mean?
making me think now whether to get them or just buy new

just buy new dude anyproblems means you can claim on warrenty or the like. Much more safer

yea just buy a new set! if one has poped a seal or has a pin hole in it how do u no that the rest are any good and could pop 100miles down the road?? just a thought

well iv found a set for 329 on one site, my mate is ringing up a shop he promos for to see if he can get them to match the price for me, and im goin to try venon motors to see if they would match it too!
was thinkin about it last night and agree with the warrenty thing, and well if say something else didgo wrong would have to pay more to get it fixed

exactly if something went wrong while you were on the motorway or any other road for that matter and you trashed your car because of it you would feel a right tit for not spending a little bit more on a new set

really bad news rimstyle (who sell the cheapest fk`s iv seen) have stopped supplying fk coilovers so have to look else were now

Dont be put off by the cheaper brands dude, I know alot of people swear by FK etc but i have the hot tuning cheap ones from Ebay, they have lasted a good 60k now with no problems and a couple of fast speed bump accidents and one kerb :-s

I think I payed £250 brand new and posted, more than likely made in the same korean factory as FK and the other mainstream makes.
