    Pass on them. No matter how good the price is on them, you wont be happy with them. A used set of coilovers is 10x better than a new set of fk coilovers. If you are looking for some good coilovers, save up an extra 200 and get some solo coilovers. Theyre 5x better than the fk's

    I had them. they are decent. I don't see them being any "worst" than other budget coils like solowerks or ST. @sgibb16 is still currently running them, and afaik he had no issues with them.

    its def not the best coils, but for the price of just wanting a drop and for street use, its fine. cant say I would recommend them, but I also cant say they are "junk".

    ST are going to be the best bang for buck if your on a budget. I would avoid the FK or solo.

    X2 on buying a used set over any of those cheap setups like FK or solo. I think i saw a set of used ST in the classifieds the other day for like 400 not sure if they are still available

    I haven't had any issues with my solos. Neither has @goreckless.

    Issues as far as what? components failing, or ride quality,.....ride quality is near imposssible to compare especially when talking about suspension what you think is an OK ride, another person might think is horrible.

    Never bought solos, offers his useless opinion on them.

    I would buy again, if that says something.

    Vogtlands are great I got them for around 800 better than H&R and not as expensive. They do not get enough credit.
