Apex Springs - Are they any good?

[Justin BBP]

As you might have seen I'm looking at lowering my PH2 172, but I've decided not to go stupidly low now due to the road conditions where I live.

I have found Apex Springs on eBay - Apex Lowering Springs

Are they any good?

With standard shocks, not really.

Apparantly the ride is harsh, so on bad roads i wouldn't advise them! Eibachs only give a subtle drop, but the ride quality is good. With coilovers you get what you pay for.

When I had my Astra Coupe I was going to go for Eibach Sportline Springs with Bilstein B4 or B6 Shocks, but not sure on Clio's as this is my 1st one.

I keep looking at K-Tech Coilovers due to the price, as djjonnibgood as you get what you pay for.

Apex are s**t

Even with uprated shocks the ride is very harsh. They go low but your back will snap. Even coilovers felt less harsh (IMO).

Had them from new for a year, fairly harsh ride although my coilovers are stiffer, however as you would expect the Apex springs aren't good at speed round corners compared to anything else... even raceland/ktec coilovers which I had on my old car.

Toying with the idea of getting a secondhand set of coilovers now
