Coilover recommendations?

[james walker]

For not much more the the AP but a lot better kit I'd say go for the Weitec Hicon GT's. Give me a shout if you'd like a price.

are they not 100quid more damien?

If your driving all the way to Nurburg ring with coilovers fitted you will hate them by the time you get there. I have KWV3's and just did a long trip with a wife with a sore back, we both decided then that we need a new car for family/long trips ASAP as the LCR is no longer suitable.
But you sound like you've done the normal thing and want coilovers not matter what.
Hope these suit your driving day in day out. They should be good for the track but would have suggested you changed the ARB and strutt braces first but not many people take heed of this info

aaagh willie, dont put me off coilovers now.... i want them primarily for handling purposes, not arsed about the slammed look if you like!!

I think the AP are around £380-£400 so about another £80-£100 but easily worth that.

James just saying it how I see it, you know me not subtle but true.

Weitec all the way.

 

[DamianPM]

If you're not going to track it then I'd say good springs and shocks all the way.

We like the KW and Weitec kits depending on the drop you're after really.

If I was you i would stick with what you are planning just now minus the suspension change and see how that feels when all together and 4 wheel alignment done. I don't think you'll be disappointed TBH.
The handling on my car with 92,000 miles OEM shocks and springs with the uprated front ARB and rear ARB with strutt brace was more than good enough for the road and occasional track use. You have uprated suspension components already so wouldn't change these till you find out it doesn't suit your driving style or needs for handling
