Well there is another thing worth mentioning and thats the warranty that comes with the coilovers.

Bilstiens - lifetime warranty
AP - 2 year warranty

Is the AP kit Mcperson rear setup or is that a generic pic they're using?

Would be wanting to set them at around -60 front and rear if that makes any difference.

i reckon for everyday use AP give closer to OE comfort


I disagree, bilsteins are better than oe at STD ride height, they ride the bumps so min better, the big difference is Bilstein will last alot longer from what iv seen of both kits. Don't get me wrong the AP stuff is good value for money but if j had the option of both for similar money o know what I would do

Out of the 2 which would you say would be the best all rounder for everyday use comfort wise?

Ignore the price of the Bilstiens as Broster can do them for around the same price as the AP ones.

Can't really find any reviews on the Bilstiens apart from what Broster has told me about them but have heard alot of people commenting on how good the AP coilovers are lately.


Your thoughts?
