In other countries, or most I should say, use a comma in place of the decimal point.

FK is definitely an ok brand and widely used on the VW scene.

I think the MK3 and Mk4 GTI guys use them.

Can you order these in the states? That ".de" is not Delaware.

Also why is this in the photo/video gallery section?

Just saying, The fact that the price is in Euro's and the shipping costs coming from Germany, I would assume, would probably eat away greatly on the savings of a better known coil for our platform.

I have not heard anything bad about them. I guess it's really up to you. With anything out there you will find good and bad reviews. When it comes to suspension I always go with the bigger more well known names (not solely because of the name, but the reputation that comes along with it). I had a Honda before my current vehicle and had Tein coilovers and loved them easy install, before that I had eibach springs and liked those as well. I have not lowered my 08' e90 just yet but when I do I will probably go with BC Racing Coilovers or H&R Coilovers.. Suspension is not the place to cheap out man in my experience because it effects so many other things if something goes wrong or starts giving out.. BMW's are not the car to go for cheap suspension mods because the cost of the repair on the other items effects is far greater than lets say a Honda or Mustang... Just my two cents man, save up and go with what you know has a proven track record for making great suspension based products. Hope I helped a little.

you are 1000% correct.. my friend had the x6 5.0 and he put some weird suspension and it fucked up the whole ride and also cost him more because it did more damage somewhere... so i will wait for something like kv1 maybe

You are on the right track now brother. Believe me I went the 'cheaper' route cause I just couldn't wait and believe me I ended up spending a ton of money much like your friend did.. Find the good ones you want so you get a solid price and a goal to save up for and before you know it they will be in the mail and at your house man, after all we've got nothing but time!

Anything's just about better than stock, however, longevity wise probably better off with the big boys.
