That's what I was thinking of, how long will the tyres last being that close?

Nothing wrong what so ever with v-maxx. I had them on my car for a while before I got a set of AP's for £50. I was intrigued to see if there'd be much difference, so I swapped them over. The AP's are only slightly better in my opinion. In hindsight, I wouldn't change them over if I had the option again.

Still on the lookout. Been offered some GAZ GHA's but with the postage costs they come in at over £400 which is a bit out of my budget for second hand coilovers. They will be sold fully serviced though so might see if I can get a cheaper price sorted.

The GAZ ones are for a mk6 but will coilovers for a mk5 Fiesta fit?

I'm in the same boat as you mate looking for some coilovers I've always had AP in mind but if possible id like it not to be rock hard.... So maybe some damping adjustability would be nice
