bit of help needed boys and girls, ok so i think i have a leak on the offside front shock, i currently have a set of AP adjustables fitted.

the question is : Can i use different brand shocks to replace the existing leaky one, will the springs and fittings still fit with the APs or do i solely need to rely on using AP replacements, which i cannot find.

many thanks

AP seems to be the only ones using a spring perch that uses a grub screw to lock into position instead of a locking collar.

If the thread pitch and diameter is the same, they should work. You'll to either get them from the place you're buying or from some one who has the coilovers you're looking to replace with.

Possibility of a different damper rate could make the car a bit wierd to drive.
