Coilover choices ..

[Sipha]

I've narrowed down the choice of coilovers to 2x sets I think look good, but which are better/preferable ? I know the AP ones are £80/90 more but are they really £80/90 better than the VMaxx setup ?

Any others I should be looking at for ~£450 or less ?


AP APF Coilovers - £470.00

havent driven on v-maxx but i drove on AP for over a year.

AMAZING! honestly really highly rate them, best coilovers you will buy without spending mega bucks mate. there owned by someone else, cant remember who, one of the big expensive brands.

+ i am currently thinking of buying AP again for my new car i liked them so much

AP Suspension are owned by KW Automotive. Its basically now their 'budget' range. Its a great piece of kit. Mostly popular with the german crowd but its gaining a foothold here.

I didnt rate Vmaxx at all, For an extra £90 id choose AP.

i find vmaxx to be very nice to drive for a coilover anyways.

 

[batesey]

i hate my vmaxx, too harsh and imo handle worst than the cup suspension

 

[Kieran..]

really? i spose my ap's on my last fiesta was a little better but you cant compare the two

Thanks for the input guys, I might just go for the AP, any others worth a look ?

AP, Weitec and KW are all worth a look tbh.

 

[Kam.]

Weitec and KW brands are both more expensive again.

 

[Adam.]

KW INOX. Wroth the extra tbh.

 

[Kam.]

most definitely. The KW ride quality is sublime!

Go for the FK silver line X, it's a koni sport shock with adjustable stiffness, with springs with correct weight ratio... best bangs for bucks!
