It doesn't look like anyone else has experienced these collies.
on the height issue ,thats why you got coilovers you are able to adjust them until you get it just right.  :innocent:

Since this thread was last commented on I have put AP coilovers on, and taken them off again in favour of my airride  :grin:

Anybody confirm this is a full kit...??
I thought they came with helper springs and shock tops already preset...

They have helper springs on other fitments but on the Mk5 many coilovers don't come with helper springs EG JOMs, APs (Joms model after AP in this case..)

I've just had AP coilovers set on mine - fronts still have a few to go rears are all the way down.

I get a small bit of rubbing when cornering hard or going over bumps..

Otherwise they're great

Have you done the arch screw mod? That helps to stop rubbing  :happy2:
