Dunno but want to know as well. I know of a member here that have FK ak street (the cheapest FK version) on his 330d with 320hp without any probs. Only 2k miles on them though.

More specifics?

If I remember correctly, some models of FK coilovers use Koni inserts, which would be a pretty decent setup.

Where do you guys see that some models come with Konis? If so it's prob pretty decent considering the price

--> Just read that model "Konigsport" as well as "Silverline X" both includes Koni dampers.

Only get FK coilovers that have koni dampers, if they have FK dampers they are POS that will fail soon.

Dont even bother with their chinese produced streetline series.
