Depends what you're using them for to be honest...?

normal road use mate, no track action, just want it to be comfortable ride and look good lol

I mean... If you were planning on JOMS why not get FK AK's?

I was under the impression that they were pretty much all the same spec....?

yeh ive seen these, but people say JOM are better then the FK with less warranty issues, so not sure about the FKs

But if all you're doing is trundling around to make it a bit lower... They'd be more than good enough for that as long as you grease them.

How long you keeping the car? If its over 12 months then get decent coilovers like AP and Weitec. I had jom (and fk ak similar) on my Golf MK2 and whilst they did the job of lowering and were faily sound ride quality wise they seized on even with care taken and they started rusting pretty badly.

I think as with most things you get what you pay for. But if you were going to go for JOMS, FK-AK's are not exactly any worse from what i've seen.

The key thing to note here is...

REALLY remember to keep them clean. As with all coilovers, if you neglect them then adjusting is never going to work.

Recommendation would be to buy some teflon spray, similar to:

And make sure they're coated pretty well with it. Most coilover manufacturers (including FK) now sell teflon coilover spray, but this would do just as good a job.

thanks guys

will be keeping teh car for a while so may opt for the AP or Weitec

Demon tweeks do decent ish finance on them but no Weitec in stock for the Fabia

ive got some one of this from my i had my bike: http://www.getgeared...ector_Spray_Can

this will do for the corrosion yeh?

Good choice, its what I have fitted.

Thanks mate.

You won't need the shorter drop links though?

If someone else can confirm??

Since KW make Weitecs?

HTH.

think your right but no harm in buying any just incase! only £10

infact the mondeo drop links arrived today!

Good on you sir, you won't regret buying tbetter coilovers!

Cheers

Dave

just out of interest can the Weitec run on shorter drop links even if i dont slam the car?

or should i return them and go for soem new oem droplinks?

thanks

I believe the early sets of Weitecs needed shorter droplinks, but the later/newer Weitecs didn't as the bolting position is the same as KW's. could do with someone confirming mate.

Cheers

Dave

you wont need the drop links for the weitecs mate they are exactly the same as ap's just different colours. I didnt replace mine either but if you already got the mondeo ones see if you can do an exchange (depending on the store) and i suppose you will basicly be replacing the lot then with what you have bought.

Thanks all

You have to cut the standard ones. The Ibiza

Ones is a straight fit. Got a price from tps - £24 for 2.

Reason why I bought the Ibiza ones is that I want to keep the standard parts intact Incase introvert back in the future.

Meyle HD OEM drop links arrived today, quality is immense, proper heavy duty

and compared to the cheapy mondeo ones from ebay, night and day in terms of build (top mondeo drop links, bottom Meyle HD OEM drop links

last item to pick up are the Ibiza bump stops tomorrow!

Can you list the part numbers for the Ibiza Cupra bump stops please dude?
