Not heard of them before, but yes they will fit, may just need winding up a tad more 'cos of the slight weight difference.

Ap coil overs are actually quite good for what they cost.
But yeah will fit, all suspension is interchangeable just the springs normally changes the height

Mine are hybrid ones not off the shelf but fecking epic. Hold the road nicly. I think they are well up the with the other coilovers in the £6-700 range.
They are made by KW

Im looking for a nice set of coilovers for my 1.9 dt phase 2! Would like about 60 - 50 drop with some of the stock ride comfort without paying gaz prices!
Any ideas??

Well your never going to get a stock ride comfort at 50-60mm and if you go for coilovers your defenatly never going to get any sort of comfort, a good/half decent set of coilies arnt designed to ride nice, theyare designed to handle and in that process you loose a great deal of comfort compared to and OE/stock
If your looking for comfort, nice ride day to day, you will be much better off with a decent shock & spring set up.
And i would think a off the shelf set of AP's would be fine due to the engine being a fair bit lighter. but again they wont be anything like stock comfort

I have a set of AP coilovers - height adjustable (but not dampening adjustabled). Got them six months ago. Driven them hard since.
I am delighted with them. As long as you avoid the potholes, they are not too crash at all IMO.
Set them to the lowest possible at the front, and the ride height is perfect.
Go for it!
