Owned the workhorse for a few weeks now, doing a good job so far so i thought i would treat it too some AP coilovers which are pretty much KWs
before
After "no inbetween, wanted to get it done"
Got some irmscher / opc goodies to put on over the wk end so will get some better pics after a good clean
comments welcome

The wheels will be on this wk end, they are I wheels
The APs will need to bed in but my 10 mile hack home seemed promising

Yea thats fair enough, do really like the sportive versions, would love one in silver or black.
I think the opc rear lights would look spot on on this

Fantastic. I cannot believe all these years suspension makers (high end as well) have never really been able to put together kits that are lower and still retain decent ride quality, these have.

Fully agree OJC, I bought KWs for my corsa c, then fitted APs to a B at the same time, the two sets where pretty much the same looks wise. Same dampers and springs, just diffrent colours really.

Ok, i have heard good stories about them, but was unsure as they are only around £390 for the set.
Just ordered them now

there easy to 5 stud if you want to upgrade brakes and have better choice of wheels, just hubs to un bolt front and back, got mine of a coupe turbo but there all the same and no need to swap back axle or anything but you will need the handbrake cable guides from the disc axle, thought i'd share that lol
