I ran them on a previous car and many guys run them on here without any problema at all. Fantastic product for the money you pay. I thoroughly recommend   :wink: :happy2:

Can only echo what Tom has said and I am very happy with mine. The one thing I would say is that the body of the strut is a little susceptible to corrosion which isn't ideal for a coilover as the whole idea is you are supposed to be able to adjust them, and corrosion makes that a bit tricky!

I just had some FK streets fitted, and absolutely hate the ride,
Do AP do adjustable dampening? Are they easy to adjust the ride height once fitted (another downside to the FK's, as I need to take off the rear shock to adjust the height, which I do not know how to do,and am getting a bit worried as I am at sump/exhaust scraping height at the moment.
 :surprised:

Must admit, i loved mine when i was in germany and they performed very well on track and on the ring. in total i think i did circa 20k on them.

however within 2 months of moving back to the uk, i took them off because the roads around me are really bad and the car was crashy as hell.  that said, it still rode better than my wifes 307 though

i dont have AP but was days away from buying them as the reviews seem to be good apart from the corrosion issues on some in the end i got a really good price on FK Silverline X coilovers with adjustable dampering and front and rear height adjust, which i will be ordering in couple weeks.
