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.
