Funny the coilover upgrade after all the defence of the budget coilies. Which are probably stiffer and better suited for the track than APs. APs are good for cheap quality but are still soft. Could do with upping the spring rates just a touch.
The AP's are rebranded Weitecs; I've gone for these - AP X Coilover Suspension Kit A3 8L 1.6, 1.8, 1.8T, 1.9TDi FWD 09/96> - £692.00 : The premier online mail order VAG suspension and performance specialists.

So they have rebound adjustment built in, which will be nice.
For a road car my Jamex coilovers have been fantastic, really really good. And if I didn't have any money I'd buy another set tomorrow. But they have started knocking and given their age it's as much sense to replace as repair, they are 4 years old after all. They aren't as good as my Weitecs were, and I've never said they were. Just defended them from much bad press as they deserve.
