Anyone used AP Sport Suspension??

Hi all, as per title has anyone had any experience with AP Sport suspension, the car is currently on standard m sport suspension but with one shock leaking so it time to look for a change, read about billies b12 stuff but its a little expensive for us at the moment so kind of looking for a reasonable alternative, cheers

Nope but I am running ST coilovers as another option . I really like them and can be had from Euro car parts and if you stick them in your basket for a few days they often try and tempt you with a discount code.

Still a little heavy price wise and also dont want a bone shaker, the missus drives it 99.5% of the time and I really dont need the grief of putting the wrong kit on it, but thanks for the reply

I figured they cant be that bad if "AP" put their name to them, but you never know who sponsors who these days lol, its just unfortunate that a heavy service bill have kinda knocked the cr*ap out of the wallet this month :-( and the failed MOT due to leaky shock obviously means I got to get roadworthy sooner rather than later, may have to take a punt on em and see how it gets on, thanks for the feedback

The ST kit is surprising , came from marshmallow se suspension and the ST is firmer but really quite compliant over the bumpy stuff.

Pretty sure the AP suspension is not made by AP Racing who are well known for their braking systems.
The ST Suspension is however made by KW Automotive using the same inserts and valving as their highly regarded suspension.
