AP Coilovers

[Mr R.]

Just called Venom motorsport and ordered some front wheel spacers for my PH1 172, got talking to the guy about coilovers and he said about the AP kit which have a 2 year warranty and are also re branded KW.
I have Eibach sportlines on my car at the moment so i dont want the ride to be crap, i understand that the car will be alot lower but i still want to like driving it as im 36 now....
Has anyone got these on ther car and what do they think about them?

Cheers scott

I don't think they have many reviews mate, but the cheaper kit is not dampening adjustable iirc? KW variant 2's are rated hhighly on here tho.

I didnt think they would tbh but thought id give it a go, the kit he advised me on was non adjustable but came with a 2 year warranty and was only 450 all in and the kit that was adjustable is 690.
His got a set on his BMW Cooper S and said that the ride was good, which im after.

The KW V2 maybe a bit to expensive for me as i dont use the car very much, this weekend is the 1st time in 3 months and the time befor that it sat off the road for 6 months as i have my van day to day plus the weathers been crap.

Yes of corse i want it to sit low but also want some kind of ride quality so i will not buy the cheap end coilover kit.

Thanks Scott.

Had them on my 172. Pretty comfy coilovers but too soft for a track-oriented car imo.

Before I got the coils I have now, I was looking at these. They are soft and comfy so are good for lows and comfort so a good daily but too soft for track. The only reason I chose not to go for them as I plan to track my car. That is all for a Mini though.

 

[Mr R.]

Cheers all, my car is not a hardcore track car by any means.

I only use it now and again but was thinking about maybe doing to odd trackday and was also thinking about a Whiteline rear bar.

What other coilover kits should i be looking at?

Cheers scott.
