Think about getting a set of coilies. Been having a look about the i/net at the different ones. What does anyone recommend? Not looking at anything in the 700 quid region!

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??

I also have eibach pro street s coilovers:
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.
