They're spot on mate. The ride is a little harsh but not too crashy, and they don't feel too bouncy. Only problem is if you are looking to go very low on the front, and have wheels wider than standard, the tyres will rub on the spring.

Nope, you will need 5mm spacers unless you only lower the front until the spring clears the wheel.

Have a look through here mate.

Edit: On the AP coilovers, the helper spring is at the top but its the same principal.

I had 15" 195 on my car before with the coilovers, and was able to drop about 60-70mm before they rubbed so not 'needed'.

pretty sure AP, weitec and KW all come from the same place so the quality is spot on. i went for weitecs on my golf, theyre really nice coilovers but i just wish i spent a bit more and got damping adjustment

Am glad someone started this thread, as my mate had been going on to me about them when I said I wanted coilovers for my Sport, so I have also got other peoples opinions too. Hope they're good for you Drift-Erm. =]
