Coilover choices: Eibach Pro Street or AP?

I'm hoping to get some coilovers for my cupra soon, so its decision time.

Do I just get a set of AP coilovers which people seem to be finding quite good or it is worth spending the extra £200 and getting the Eibach coilovers?

I'm not planning on having the car really low (probably only a 50mm drop tbh) as the roads are far too bumpy around where I live and I'd never get up my lane. (I ruled KW Varient 1's out as people have said they are very hard)
So they will be to improve the handling and ride quality. (anyone who's driven a cupra knows while the suspension is nice and firm, it doesn't seem to actually absorb anything and just bangs)

Everyone says how smooth the Eibach coilover's are but do they manage to still give you the feel from the front wheels that the standard cupra suspension does?

How do the AP coilover's compare in handling and ride quality when compared to the standard cupra suspension and the Eibach coilovers?

I don't mind having to pay more for much better suspension but the AP's seem like a good deal and it leaves money over towards a Miltek exhaust.


Lots of questions I know, but as its took me awhile to get some money together for them, I'd rather not make a mistake.

The Eibach coilovers are in a different league compared to the AP. ANother good option is the Weitec which are the next set up from AP for not a lot more money.

Thanks Damian, that was the kind of answer I was looking for.
As for Weitec, I'd actually forgotten about them so thats another option to look at and decide whether the Eibach coilover will be worth an extra £200 to me.
