Technical FK front struts

[jiminwatford]

I have acquired these but have no use for them

What can people tell me about them?

Are they 'uprated'?

Do they in themselves lower the car?

Um, any idea on value?

They will not lower the car, thats the spring's job.

They may allow a lower spring to be fitted without bottoming out.

No idea on value.

FK only claim to be made by "...a German Company.." so the shocks are probably made in the Far East rather than in Germany. They're sold as a budget sports brand "for the driver with limited funds" so not going to be worth a fortune.

They're probably valved to cope with lowered springs.. and that means they could also have a shorter damper rod (so they wouldn't suit regular springs). Probably a 30-40mm shorter spring is needed.

Having said that, someone out there will want them... Stick them on eBay for £80 and see if anyone nibbles.
