DO NOT fit apex springs, you will ruin your car, Cooksports or Eibachs, everything else is s**t, we charge 1 hour labour to do all 4, do not pay more than that!

Cheers Liam, after what ive heard about them on here i wont be going anywhere near them, gunna be Eibachs all the way, just in the process of ordering them now.

Good choice

Luke. Was selling some second hand adjustable Koni shocks if your interested.

I was going to get them but ive decided on coilovers instead

 

[Kelv]

You don't need the koni shocks, if your current shocks are in good condition then they will be fine.
maybe when your factory shocks start to show signs of deterioration, then look at the Koni's.

 

[Paul Mitch 1986]

Thanks Kelv, the cars only got 44000 miles on it so everythings like new, koni's do sound like a good option further down the line. Anyone got any photos of a sport been lowered 30mm on the back on 45mm on the front?

I know that. Just telling him incase he wants them.

 

[Paul Mitch 1986]

Thanks Liam but ordered the Eibachs now

BUY THE COOKSPORTS AS THEY HAVE ALREADY BBEEN PROVEN TO BE BETTER THAN THE EIBACHS.

 

[Kyle 86]

Get a refund and get the cooksports

Cooksports are far better the Eibachs..

Apex aren't that bad, they just tend to knock your fillings out if you drive over anything bigger then a rizla paper.. But they give good lows and aren't bad on track..

Koni shocks are another possibility if you want to further upgrade the handling. They are necessary but people have told they are pretty decent..
