imo they aint bad at all ide say coilovers are alot worse and as im usto them i dont think its that bad theres a 50/50 split with apex springs on here ive found some like and some dont, im on the like side as ther a good drop and not that bad ride just a lil harder.

sportlines are alot better springs and get a better ride than the apex, but still for ££90 the apex have still made a nice drop so far and still to settle.

have to be better than p.i springs, i had a set on my punto hgt and oh my god after about a month or two the ride was soooo nasty.

mine is on APEX and the ride is brutal imo, dont know wether the aftermarket shocks will make a difference with that though.

hit a bit of a rut and its goobye spine and teeth. Its only saving grace is that it sits nice...

ive had apex on both mine. the ride is pretty gash yes. its looks well better tho. as long as i dont belt it down b roads (at least ones that i dont know where the potholes are!) then these are fine for normal roads.
eibach I've never had but the rides sposed to be better, but then it looks hardly any different to std IMO in all the pics! So you might as well leave it as is unless you go for the next better thing which are Vmaxx coilies, etc.

Prolines look more or less standard, 15mm drop on a FF, 5mm on a cup/cup packs.
Sportlines are a 35mm drop though.... That's only 5mm less than these Apex's!
