as above really, anyone used or know about them? read a few good reviews, seem cheap at £399 for fully adjustables for the focus, currently have Koni shocks and springs but been on there 5 plus years and lookin to replace. Any advice, cheers.

Fk coilovers for focus @ £220 are even cheaper than vmaxx, i was expecting to pay between £600 and £800 for a set of coilovers.

I've had Vmaxx coilovers on my VW, they are shit! First set started leaking after a few months. Got them replaced under warranty, another few months along and they are fucked again. Both rear shocks started leaking, and was movement/play in the piston on front shock first time. Second time both rear shocks was leaking again and the ear for the drop link broke off. I do mostly motorway driving as well...
Apparently Vmaxx cant understand this, as they've sold 1000s of kits and never had this problem. Strange how it happens twice then. First set went back to Vmaxx, the second set is going back in a couple of weeks.
I wouldnt use them again if I was given them for free.
Now I've just replaced them with H&R lowering springs on standard shocks No where near as low as it was on coilovers, but its much more comfortable and I dont have to worry about replacing suspension parts every few months.

If they are the same quality as the fk-coilovers, then save the money. Have done 2 cars with fooked dampers. And both with low miles and not fast cars.
