FKs have a history of seizing! Have a search for a couple more kits. Maybe check out Weitec GTs?

IÂ´m searching on Venom motorsport and saw the Weitecs!

Are they the one you recomend for that price?

I dont really know what to search for (due to my dumbass question),thats because I need your help.

I've never used them myself, I use Â£200 ones fom eBay. But I've heard good stuff from Weitec in general. Type 'weitec' into the search bar at the top, and see what you can find in regards to reviews. Any other questions fire away.

ive got weitec Gt hicons from Venom motorsport and they are amazing

awesome ride quality, so still through bends but not really too bumpy and harsh like ive been told cheaper ones can be. plus, they are delicious and green.
I paid Â£475 for mine.
Apparantly AP are made by weitec and they are slightly cheaper? about Â£325, however when i was buying venom had a problem supplying the AP's. Both AP's and the Weitecs are zinc plated to stop corrosion, i adjusted mine a few days ago after using it daily for the last 2 months and they still wind freely by hand. have a gander...

Are they any modifications need to be done compare to the original suspension/springs or a regular lowering kit?

Are they any parts that needs to be weld?

Hmm, I haven't ever had Weitecs, but urm i've got a set of KW Variant 1's and they're pretty spot on. Have a look into them, search function here is pretty useful on KW's!
