Apex 40mm/60mm

[Andy A]

Ok, going to purchase one of these tomorrow, just completely unsure of which one to go for. I'd rather get the 60mm but i'm sceptical of whether it is going to cause me problems with rubbing, especially on speed bumps.

Just need to know, how will it affect my handling

How many people have 17" wheels with a 60mm drop that have had no problems?

Any pictures of a clio with 17's and 60mm springs would be appreciated

If the offset is et37 you wont have a problem with 60mm mate

My old motor with 60mm apex kit and 17s. my wheels were et42, it didnt rub with toyo rubber on (bit thinner than other makes) and remember, 17s make it 4x4 ground clearence anyway so speed bumps arent an issue, just dont go over them too fast!

i can honestly say the 40mm apex kit is a better one for performance though. Rob.
