Been offered some fk's for £80 I know there not the greatest and I will buy some ap's or similar later but are they worth a shot for £80

Depends what you want really.

It will lower your car but that's about it, if that's worth £80 to you, go for it.

Expect new strut tops - bearings looking at them. Use your current ones if they are decent condition but for the price usually false economy to use old ones.

To be fair mate that's all I want for now I will upgrade them but with the work I'm doing its just going to look poop at standard height

I've got them on my ibiza, handling is much better, a little bit bouncy when only one up but bearable

How old are they and how many miles have they covered?

If you're going to be doing the work yourself and are willing to do it all again with a new setup once funds allow, why not.

I did something similar myself to see if I could live with coilovers as never had them installed on my previous cars before spanking £500 odd on a new bit of kit.

For me to do it all over again, I think I'd get new standard shockers and lowering springs.

Had cheap jom coilovers twice now, looks good but the bounyness was awful.

For the price they are ok, lower the car but that's about it. You can't expect much els from the cheapest coilovers you can buy. :D
