AP - Coilovers - any good??
« on: August 08, 2014, 10:06:53 am »
Hi all,

Just been told my standard oem rear shocks are about done - I have been offered a set of AP coilovers  - would be great to get people's experience views on these - not bothered about drop more interested in performance without ruing comfort !

If you ultimately want comfort and aren't bothered about lowering don't get coilovers

I still want better handling - just not too harsh that it ruins the ride - would I better off with Bilstein B12 or similar suspension kit ?
