I have Ap's and they go plenty low enough for me and still give a good ride.

Good to hear! Im thinking of getting some APs also, they seem to be getting good praise online and are not too expensive either!

Just fitted AP APX adjustable damping Coilovers and are schweeet! Plenty of damping adjustment... Loads of height adjustment on front but rear could do with going down a bit more, thinking of taking the fully woUnd down adjusters out the back and just having the spriNg pads...

My mates got these on his a3 2.0 tdi and he loves them. They go down exactly how much he wants them to and the stance on the car is nuts

Im trying to get a set for my 06 plate gt tdi but cheapest ive seen is for £420 ish, def out of my budget lol

I've put AP's on all my VW's and can't fault them. Only thing I would say is the rears didn't go as low as I would have liked on my previous car (MK4 R32) even with the adjusters taken out.

I've got these on my mk5 R32 and run them wound all the way down with no rubbing issues at all.  nice ride too not harsh like some coilovers :happy2:
