This is the lowest ive found soo far! :/. well found a set for £350 brand new from germany (but wasnt to sure what model number my car is 6x or 6e? can anyone confirm if these will fit? (i got a 2003 1.4s) as they are £50 cheaper!! well £40 when taking in cost of P&P ) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ap-coilover-suspension-kit-VW-Lupo-6X-no-GTI-no-3L-type-/220756320687?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item33661a21af#ht_1385wt_1197Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bickerton Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I've known AP's take a very long time in the past, others get em reasonably fast though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bickerton Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 See if Kam racing can sort you out, i needed my coilies desperatly and they contacted supplier etc before taking payment to be sure i would get them in a sensible time, was just under a week (Weitec ones tho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheps Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Definately worth buying ap they are mint. Had them on mine for a while. Also agree their an easy driveway fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 If all the nuts and bolts a not rusted on then they'll be a quick fit. I fitted the rears in about an hour on my own. Fronts took a while as the bottom nuts where stuck.Deff go for the APs over the TAs if you have the money. Pretty much everyone doesnt like the of TAs and everyone who has APs (myself included) thinks they're pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im thinking of jacking it up on the spare wheel jack thing then just cracking a like car wedge thing under it so it cant drop cause i dont have an axel standBut may have the use of college ramps and stuff so might be fitting there hopefully!!!!
