What makes you ask this question, for FK in particular? If it's because it's the cheapest coilover kit available then you've already answered you're own question. Don't buy it.

HOWEVER :D I think Geeman runs this kit on his 318iS Track Car and says it's a very good kit!

spax adjustibles i've heard always come back under warranty!

Geeman has FK coilovers and i from what i remember he said he wasn't impressed and wished he had used something else

They are the cheapest budget kit on the market... literally for people who want to lower their car for looks but not worry to much about track etc...

I bought a set for this reason.. I'm not a serious track day guy so dont need the quality of H&R / Spax etc... however i've now broken the car before getting a chance to fit them and am selling the kit for Ԛ£100... they cost me Ԛ£150-160

They are 60-40 btw...
