Got some APs waiting to go on mine, will update once fitted.

What other bits do people recommend replacing at time of fitting? Already has new front top mounts. Rear top mounts? Any of the nuts/bolts removed during fitting?

Cheers Si

Have had a few different sets of coilovers on various cars and the KW's were the best. Firm but not too crashy and really good quality.

lots of choice out there dom but you don't say why you want coilovers and what you're aiming for?  ie track car, road car, slammed/stanced, handling, ride quality, budget etc?  what you want to spend and what you're trying to achieve might mean the difference between a recommendation for some ebay "coilyovers" at 100 notes or some bilstein clubsports at a couple of grand.

They are slightly firmer than OEM but comfortable.
