Weitec, ap and fk are all the same company, they handle well, and there not that bad of a ride, not too bumpy, :)

Hey mate i have these on my cupra, first set of coilovers ive had on a car and lots of people said expect the ride to be very hard.

I think these are really good as i dont think the ride is that hard on them and they are reasonably priced.

I would stay away from FK coilies personally. I had a set on my mk3 and had problems with leaking shocks and sticking helper springs. Many companies have stopped supplying the FK's for this reason. Also the FK warranty isn't worth the paper its written on. AP are a good choice if your on a budget as they are actually made by KW. I had a set on my car for 2 weeks to replace my FK's and was very happy with them. I actually have them for sale as we speak ;)

I had a set on my lupo, set about 60mm drop all round and had absolutely no problems whatsoever. Ive got AP's now on my ibiza and they are really good for the cash but i would have no problems having FK's again, they wore very well in a wet welsh winter. Gave them a quick brush and soap and they looked new again.
