ap coilovers? anyone got any experience

[kernow_joe]

been looking around and it would seem that they are the budget range from kw but seem to be getting mixed reviews, and also reviews about purely looks?! any coilovers is going to make your car l;ook lower!!

so yeah anyone have them on 306 what they ride/handle like?

[Midnightclub]

I know Jamie/Puglove has a set on his 6', it definitely seems to handle well!

[puglove]

Yeah i got them on my 6 they are fecking Epic for the money. There is nothimg els within or near that price rang that will come close. They completly trans formed my 6. Sticks to the road like shit to a blanket. And there are a couple peoe on here that can vouch for that. Mainly ryan@306

[Midnightclub]

Can i ask how much you paid for yours J?

[puglove]

£300. And i had some higher weight rating springs put on as STD but had to wait 4weeks for them to come from germany because of this

[Midnightclub]

Sweet, may look into getting a set.. tempted by Gaz though

[puglove]

Id aay value for money AP

[Midnightclub]

How long have you had yours on for now mate?

[puglove]

About a year . They were on my old 6 aswell. You also get 2 years warrenty

[kernow_joe]

thats exactly what I want to read, yeah for the money they sound great,
where'd you get the higher weight rated springs to? as think I read they can be a problem a few people have had, on other cars though

[puglove]

I cantacted a uk dealer of AP anf went from there. But dont ask me who they were lol. They were in glouster thats all i remember lol

[kernow_joe]

yeah I kind of realised you wouldn't as it being 2 years ago but I'd already typed it out. think I'll have a look around find someone to ring come payday

seem like a good place uk importers etc but they don't have an email addressor contact form! what sort of an internet company does that!?

will have to ring after work

[Midnightclub]

They're on eBay as well, can't remember for how much for though

[Ben]

Doesn't say anything about whether they come with rear shocks? If they don't then I think the guy on eBay does gaz front for about that price. Might be able to get a small group buy on the gazs as well, I've asked the guy before and he said he would.

[puglove]

Mine came with rear shocks i dont think they offer a kit without them.

[kernow_joe]

all the ap kits I've seen come with rear shocks

[Ben]

Oh that's pretty good then. It didn't say in the viper add so I assumed they didn't. Did the rear shocks make much of a difference Jamie? Can you adjust the rebound on them?
Be good to compare them to the gaz ghas as they are just over 100 cheaper

[puglove]

Well this is a easy one to answer as i didnt put the rears on for a few months after fitting the fronts. But yes it did make a noticable difference . Made the back a little more stable.


Another thing worth pointing out is the fact that they do give a fairly comfortable ride when just going round town / to the shops. (as far as coillies go) compared to other coilovers iv had experience with. But dosnt compramise handing

hi I'm interested in a set of ap coilovers for 306 gti but was wondering if you can source some higher weight rated springs to match the heavier engine of the gti6?
cheers Joe

Sorry we only do the standard kit, AP will not fit any other springs to their kits for warranty reasons.

so they dopn't make a kit for the gti then?! I'm pretty sure you've (puglove) said you got them suplied by someone?

[puglove]

Yeah id try another supplier.

[kernow_joe]

yup thinking that, do you have apx coilovers? the adjustable ones, or just the standard cheaper non adjustable ap coilovers?
