You need to get the propper insert supplied by FK, I ordered a pair through Gazzella Racing but got bored with waiting 2 months for delivery so cancelled my order. I know Barbz is running those inserts in his coupe so it might be worth asking him if its cured the problem. Think it was £127 for the pair of front inserts. I've got a pair of silverline FK's in my garage in mint condition doing nothing that I really should get rid of !

I have heard that putting stronger springs on will improve them, But I think it comes down to the damping, TBH ~I want to put weaker springs on, with better dampers, I hope the koni's will help.
