Apex - Yes or No?

[Matthew]

Thinking of dropping my 182 on Apex springs.

Seems like a hot topic on here, looks V's ride etc.

Was going to save up for coilovers ( the K-Tec cup ones) but Ime getting impatiant.

Seems the spootlines give a good ride, but dont really drop a cup packed 182 at all....

The Apex look great but is the ride really that bad?

Opinions please :S

yep totaly crashy.. sportlines are little better and coilovers are alot better plus u get best of both world.. iv had all three on mine and am sticking with the coilovers

apex - s**t ride - good looks

sportlines - decent ride - decent drop

coilovers - great ride - great performance - great stance!

i had apex on my 1.6 dropped it nicely and improved the drive, but just avoid potholes

I got 40mm apex on my 172 cup, they do look good and handle awesome around silverstone but they are a hard ride for day to day driving.

I had them off ash_172 on here, not sure where he got them from sorry mate.

got them on my 172cup gave a nice drop an i felt it handle better to.. are a bit harsh over bumps tho, gd cheap spings in my opinion

 

[Matthew]

Yeah, been looking at the drop the sportlines offer, and it doesnt seem worth the hassle, whereas the apex seem to be a harsher ride, but look spot on....

Arrhhh - why cant eibach do a 40mm drop spring?!?!?

 

[Matthew]

Anyone got any pics of their 182 dropped on either sportlines, and/or apex?

 

[Ash87]

Have them on my 172 the ride isn't that bad imo and they give a great stance keeping the nose down look. I bought them originally as a stop gap before gettin coilovers but plans changed and i have just kept the apex on.

I've also got 4mm apex and find them great tbh i'm upgrading to coilies so they will be for sale soon

Thinking of making a purchase in the next week or so pal so.....

Think ile "give em a whirll" and see how it goes - I can always put the standard springs back on if i find them abit too harsh i suppose....
