    Glad you like the noise pipe.
    There is a very thin line between not noisey nough and too noisey so it seems like you hit the sweet spot.

    Can't wait to hear it!

    Thanks Clay, and well said! It has got a little more noise going on now after my lengthy drive to work this morning but still in the comfort zone.

    Funny, mine seemed to quieten down a bit as the exhaust ash coated the pipes and insulated the system

    Great for daily driving, very comfortable over crap roads but I did have my Koni's set fairly hard in the end.

    I still think you should give a front sway on medium setting a go mate. From what you and kaanage mentioned in the other suspension thread about getting the power down coming out of high speed corners and under steer I truly believe it's the solution.

    And just to confirm I adjusted my front sway after the coilovers were put in so I have a fair comparison. I had no under steer with it set on soft but had the same traction issues pushing out of corners. So the setting change fixed it well. Never had so much fun in fwd car as i'm having now!

    Cheers.

    Troy why are you looking at changing the KW's? I was under the impression that FK's were great budget coilovers, but for ride quality and overall reliability you'd be better off going with something a little more like KW's - I was going to buy a set of Weitec's on the cheap from the UK, but you've got me questioning it now if you're thinking of downgrading! Maybe we'll all be on FK's soon.

    Top of the range FK's use Koni adjustable dampeners, so i guess they must be good then lol

    Want something adjustable for the track, and the KW's, due to such big springs, guessing wont be suited to many Camber adj strut tops
