Hi All..

I have a couple of Q's which i hope you will be able to me help with.

Firstly how good are the Apex Lowerings Springs?

Why do they have different Springs for the 01-03 then 04-07 cars (100PCD), does it really make a difference?

I know what they say my car would be lowered by but does anyone have a pick of how low you can expect with these on?

Thanks

I have some APEX lowering springs on my classic, they say about 25mm, and it looks wicked levels it out.

and no problems with performance? why are they so much cheaper than Tein ect...?

No problems at all. There good. Not sure why they are a lot cheaper.
I bought them to try out as no one seemed to have used them. I was a bit worried as everyone seems to go for teins. But I thought hey what the hell. There cheap and can always get some other ones if they are pants, but no issues so far and been on a good few months now.

Apex springs are made in Holland with similar steel as Eibach/Whiteline/H&R etc. and on the same Wafios computerised cold coiling machine. So the quality of the spring will be fine. The spring rates are probably similar to Eibach, so they should work ok.

apex on mine! go for it. give them a little time to settle and they make the car look a little lower. they are guaranteed and i bet they have the exact same coil shape as all the others, and they are a little cheaper. but if you want to really make a difference get a thicker rear anti roll bar at the same time for about the same money as the spprings, this really helps grip and stops body roll, much more than the springs do,, in my opinion.

also, to answer your question... they are meant to lower by 35mm on the classic

They are good for the money.
Plus they are a nice yellow. (not that you will see them when on the car)

Basically its up to you and what will run ok
