They are great coilovers for the money, good build quality, great ride and decent lows. Been out in them on a few cars. Cannot fault them for the cost, made by KW, so must be decent :happy2:

Couldn't of put it better myself been running mine for 9 months now no problems whatsoever. :drinking:

Don't bother I've had mine on 2 years and in that time I've had two sets of rear shockers replaced and had to wait three months to get my money back under warranty on them and just recently my front o/s has started playing up I'm now in two minds just to take them off and buy another brand. My mate also has them on his R32 and one of his front shockers has just let go and is now suffering the dreaded warranty claim form.

You and your mate are they only 2 people I have heard bad things about the ap's from.
I was happy with mine!

My rears started clunking after a week or so. Bought a set of OEM Bilstein shocks quite cheap which fixed the problem.
The quality isn't as great as I thought either :sad1:
-
I've just fitted a set on the Octavia. The ride is perfect for me, much better than I thought it would be on coilovers. Someone on Briskoda also had a rear shock replaced but I carn't comment on build quality yet.
If I had more cash I'd have gone for the Weitecs.

Unusual that few have had problems with these :sad1:
-
with mine both rear shocks failed mot mind you i only paid 80 quid for front and rears 2nd hand 20k miles so no complaints here
