Cheers Jeff, been looking at the AP coilies that Awesome are selling now. Seem highly recommended from them and other reviews. Made in the same factory as KW i think, mind you the factory is 1.7Miles long!

What else would i be aswell changing if i get them? i.e bushes, drop links etc, maybe top mounts??

Very good ride but handling isnt as sharp as KW V1's in my opinion - a bit more roll. I would recommend them as a middle of the range coilover though.

Going for the AP Coilovers guys, only read good things on the net about them so thought why not.

Need help now, where can i get cupra bushes online (would be easier for me) and drop links, had a look on e bay but dunno if i would be getting the right things.

Want to do everything i can while they are getting changed. :P
