Apex Springs to H&R Coilovers (Pics)

[chrispy.clio]

I fitted H&R Coilovers the other weekend, here are some pics of before and after i had them.
Cant really see that much of a difference in height from the Apex springs to the coilovers, but the ride seems a lot smoother and it handles much much better. Just need the geometry done and it should handle much better

Looks nice mate, wish i would have known about the meet yesterday we could have compared. Just had my konigsports fitted (not as flash as your h&r's but well you know lol)

Nice upgrade, apex are awful IMO.

 

[Peperami]

Apex are better than sportlines!!

Car looks good though bud

Not IMO. Would rather drive a standard car than one on Apex, think most who've used them would agree.

PMSL! Agree'd! Stick in gym advice Dan!! APEX are horrific.

 

[Peperami]

Flol, imo sportlines are overrated. At least apex will lower the car, which most will fit them for.

Would agree in that standard is better than either though.

 

[Day]

Apex lower the car cheap and cheerful but f**k your dampers big time.

Worse springs I ever had the pleasure of running.

 

[Rob.H]

I'm probs way off, but is that a DB7 parked next to your car in a couple of the pics i spot???

 

[172Ben]

No complaints with my apex, but i suppose coming from a punto with coilovers to a car that actually handles out the box im probably not the best person to judge

I preferred pro's and sport's to standard. Apex were torture. Poorly riding and handling.

Big difference

that has actually come in quite useful, was trying to decide between apex 40mm springs and eibach sportlines for my 1.2, thanks mate lol.


Btw the coilovers look great, should look even better once settled

 

[gsums]

looks good mate side view shows the difference, my apex are fine cant say i have any complaints!

 

[R20 CWH]

Nice..

[Tigger]

That's a tidy wagon all-round

 

[Fletcher]

Looking good

Thanks for then nice coments.
Only bad part about having the new ride height was that i scratched my splitter quite badly when in a garage

IMO the Apex looked good but the ride was sooooooooo hard, and when it was on the track it was bouncing around when turning, if you know what i mean. Basicaly not smooth at all. And i went in my mates Williams which was on H&R coilies and turn-in was 10 times better.
So it had to be done, i bought the H&R's of Rob on here who now has AST's
Bargin

(Rob.H) Yes it's a DB7 GT, Its my old man's. I now know why he didnt want me to spend all the money on coilies, its becauses my car in now lower than his lol
Wander if you can get coilies for an aston lol hmmmm

(D4N13L) Yeah it's a shame not more people came, still a good turn out for this time of year i hear.
Maybe we'l have to do a mini meet and take some pictures some where.

Exactly, the springs are too stiff for the dampers, so it pogo's everywhere.
