AMAX (APEX?) 40mm springs £30 from ECP

[JB21]

As above, supposedly rebranded Apex springs and with code PARTS15 are only £30.35 delivered. Read they are really stiff which is good for track use so gonna give them a blast along with some new cup dampers, camber bolts & hunter alignment. Should see some decent benefits at Oulton in August.

Im wanting to dump my vmaxx coilovers so tempted at £30 i must say

 

[imprezaworks]

These came up a bit ago, like you say Apex. 30 isn't a great deal of money if they are crap

 

[coverman]

Oh no I paid £35 for them last week.Fitted yesterday.Dont seem much different from Cup springs so far on the road

 

[imprezaworks]

What's the drop like

No difference in ride quality? Surely thats a good thing. The drop alone lowers the centre of gravity which helps handing.

 

[Mr Plums]

Thats cheap as chips!

 

[imprezaworks]

Will be if the drop looks good and don't need shares at a local dental practice

 

[jamesycc]

had apex 40's on my first 172 and they very harsh on the road, track may be ok though.

 

[imprezaworks]

I had apex on a cup, albeit for a month before i sold the car and found them absolutely fine.

 

[Craig]

Hmmmmm tis very tempting

 

[Jimbob 2705]

Well I've ordered some, thought why not at that price - curious to know how they'll compare to my Cooksports (which some say are the best spring out there)

So yeh, expect a bit of a write up along with some photos by next week hopefully

WOW very intrested to hear your views on these then

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep. I've got h&r springs which I rate so will be interested

 

[Chiffs]

Guess at the price you can't really go wrong. Look forward to pics and write up, might well purchase once back after sunny hols.

 

[Chiffs]

Would just camber bolts be needed for the front along with an alignment once fitted?

 

[imprezaworks]

if you wanted to adjust the camber on the front, yep.

 

[Mr Plums]

Just an alignment would do.

 

[cs_dave]

Orederd me a set collect tomoz but need new shocks and solid top mounts to fit them
