      If you want coils then you might as well save up the extra for them. I push the FK's pretty hard but I did end up selling my set and getting coils. Theres still no comparison to being able to change your spring rates and height this easily. The FK's are great for a low daily/back road fun car, but if you want real performance I'd say get the coils fa sho.

      Sorry if that made your decision harder lol.

        Damn I didn't even think about the int'l shipping. Hmm looks like Iv'e got some thinking to do. I've got an interview soon and if that goes well I'll probably just ponny up for the coils.

          Billy sport front strut inserts - $220.
          KYB shocks rear - $100

          Done. Low. Cheap. Not nearly as good as GC and longevity will be nonexistent with the exception fo the front struts. If you shop around you may be able to do better. I have a friend who has been autocrossing on Cosmos for 3 years with no problem (318ti). However, he has been running Konis and has changed out the springs for different rates. The sleeve that came with the cosmo kit is still on and working fine with no issues.

          Best of luck and I still agree with everyone else that it is better to use the GC kit.

          where are you finding the cosmo camber plates for 120? i would like to know myself. i need camber plates and im already slammed without camber plates. coilovers all the way down to last thread

            Just tried ordering the fk 75/50 kit from the link above and the website denys my transaction everytime. I had trouble finding the right kit in the english version of the website, does anyone know if they quit producing this kit or something. Or is there another site I can order from that does ship to the US?

              Strange, I should have ordered it a month ago. Looks like they took them all off of the english one so now they only sell the 60/40 drop for the 318 only, and its saying only a few left. So I'm guessing they are discontinuing all of e30 stuff. Wack as hell. I can still find it on the german one though.

              Edit: Try giving them a call and see what they can do. They might be able to get it. That's what I'm going to do. Contact.

                I searched google for the 75/50 kit and found an english link but i think its old, because it will not let me order the product. I was afraid that they might have discontinued it. Thanks for the help.

                                I just sent them an inquiry about the 75/50 kit, lets hope they still have some around. I'll be very disappointed if they don't.
