    Loving the build man, someone young with the same ideas of a nice car as me! Very envious of the Aristo's!

    Now, about the coils.. Where did you pick them up from/what brand? In the market for some to kick off my own build!

    Were they from Australia? I've found a brand called JOM from Germany, and seem to be around a similar quality by review.. Only a little bit more expensive after shipping from the UK. Thank heaps

    From Germany itself. All up landed to my door was around $380 which was alot cheaper then around $230 just for shipping from UK. I can't compare to joms as I have never used them. But i have heard that fks are a little bit better build. I was going jom but changed my mind. There's a couple of other members here running fks and are super happy with them.

    Have just found some on eBay now actually.. Bit more than what you paid but if its similar to JOM's and a better ride I'm all for it! good to know there's some cost effective coils out there
