seanl82 23 Posted June 30, 2020 AP get good reviews. They're made by KW and are essentially V1, but have an electroplated body rather than stainless like the V1. I've heard mixed reviews on the Gaz. They are damping adjustable though which is a good feature to have. Have you thought about lowering shocks and springs rather than coilovers? With anything lower you'll be compromising comfort, but coilovers tend to be a little more harsh even when extended fully. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
