Apex 40mm or 60mm Kit for 172?

[kissmyrs]

hi

ive ordered the 40mm kit for my 172, just thinking would it have been better to go with the 60mm?

opinions?

i can change the order to 60mm, im planing on getting Turini's, and already have cup splitter. which is better?

any pics?

I don't rate either very highly its a cheap kit.

IMO chnage to a more expensive setup ie coilovers or Bilstein then again I don't rate them superbly there just the best none OE shocks you can buy In my experiance.

dont they only do 40 on 172s and 182s

I was the same, didnt want to go too low these are 40mm apex. Not the best pic in the world to show you but you might get the general idea

I'd save up for some coilovers, thats what i'm getting for mine.

Yes they do do 40mm apex spring because i have them on mine.
Im running with 172 mk1 15"s and its very low so i wouldnt do 60mm as i think you,ll be pushing it.

Or with 17s-

i had just as much fun with my apex dampers and -60mm springs as i do with my £700 fk silverline X adjustables.

apex is going on my birds clio now lol

 

[richlawson]

40mm

they only produce the 40mm drop for RS models

despite what everyone on here says, they are a good setup for the cash...i've had two cars with them.

 

[richlawson]

yeah they are 40mm mate bit of a hard ride but best hight you can get on just springs with good handling

i am only selling my old set as the clio i just bought has them on it already

 

[kissmyrs]

oh right ok, ive stuck with 40mm's, its just when i ordered from motorworld they gave me a choice of 40mm or 60mm.

But 16's with 40mm loooks nice and low, perfect height

40 is plenty - I've got that on a standard car (higher than 172 normally)

I still catch front splitter if not careful parking!
