apex

[silvermarty172]

had these fitted today and seem pretty good for the money , i quess all the ppl that slate them have probably had them then got coilys so they think great lets have a moan and take the piss but dont forget not everyone loaded with money, if u aint had them or dont know what there really like dont get into discusion, anyway think there well worth for starting out with and handling seemed pretty good keeping up with my mates 172 on coilys round bends etc , yes very harsh ride but well worth it imo

 

[Gavin.]

To be honest for what they cost they are not too bad. I still have mine on 2 years on, although they are on the stiff side.

 

[Martin!]

If they're anything like they are for Scoobies, they're rattle your brain out harsh. Eibachs are so worth the extra spend IMHO.

Plus we are not taking the piss or having a moan!! we are telling you how it is...

yeh obviosly u have an opinion , but it seems to be that u make them out to be alot worse than they really are and everyone likes to get in and have a moan and try make ya look a t**t and also a little annoying when u get a load of ppl slating them when all i asked was a picture , so thought id just tell u what i thought and think there well worth the money

 

[MartinR]

But they are crap! and they aren't worth a fiver

They've been on my 172 since before I bought it over 3yrs ago. For normal road use they're fine. Wouldn't recommend for any track action, but for the money and to make the car sit a bit better they just right.

It seems that cheap coil-overs are pound for pound a complete waste of money. So until I'm prepared to shell out on some 'reasonable' coil-overs, the Apex are staying.. lol

Just my opinion

 

[172Ben]

I had them, they were horrible.

 

[glowworm105]

I have them , fair enough there not on a sport there on a mk3 1.4 but i think there ok , ride is not that bad and gave it a good drop and improved the handling

[Tunst]

I had them.. Bought them when I had a pissed up Ebay session.. sold them after a week.. Horrid Springs but gave a good stance...

and i did say people not just you, but for the extra or even second hand sportlines are by far better, id then save for coilies whilst having a good ride and a car that will handle well thats all

Those pennies you save shall be spent on dentures when your teeth fall out.

Also say bye to your top mounts,wishbone bushes and ball joints due to the harshness of them

I have just had two new bottom ball joints as well, coincidence? Probably not lol

 

[Willliams]

Very odd... Ive done 17k miles, or there about, since i've had. Its also just sailed through its MOT for the 3rd time.

 

[Steven103]

Not a sufficient way of reviewing suspension. Sorry.
