can u show me your clio 172 on 40mm apex springs please :)

[silvermarty172]

just wanted to see what it will look like as ive ordered them but havent had them fitted yet and just wanted to get an idea of how low it will sit, thanks

 

[davo172]

You won't get many pics mate to be honest most cars runnin apex springs will be in a ditch somewhere lol
And if not the owner won't be able to hold the camera still long enough to get a pic due to the shaking and bouncing caused by the shocking ride quality

 

[silvermarty172]

haha that bad hey , my brother used to have them on his and didnt think it was bad tbh , dont mind a rough ride lol :rasp:

 

[MartinR]

Rough ride is an understatement!! search apex springs in the search box at the top! you will soon change your mind!

I had them on the 182 but i am not going into it as it hurts!

****Awaits t21ads view on these springs****

these are the best value best handling springs ive ever had on any car..............................
i lie they're utter pish and cant wait to get them off before my teeth fall out and i can see stuff out of my rear view mirror without looking like theres an earthquake outside.
my opinion is to use house bricks or even concrete instead of these hope this helps

 

[silvermarty172]

Ok ppl cheers for your advise , so other than the harsh ride do the handle well or are they bad for that ?

 

[Stefan.]

they are fine when your cars parked up put it that way, they handle and the ride of them is s**t

 

[MartinR]

No They don't handle either

 

[silvermarty172]

Well suppose at least it looks good , least there's 1 positive

Lol you are making excuses to fit them to your car, i have had them on mine before and yes it looks great..

Don't ruin your car just pay a bit more for sportlines

 

[Renault Wolverhampton]

apex no matter how good(used lightly) they look aren't worth the hastle they are that bad

 

[silvermarty172]

Haha , I don't know I think I'll try them for what it costs and as I said my brother had them a while ago and didn't think they were bad imo , but there's only one real way to find out I suppose , I'll be moaning in a couple of weeks =\ cheers for your opinions anyways , have you got a picture with sportlines on ?

 

[Christopher]

Rubbish.

I had them for 12 months and never realised they were bad until I tried something else.

Avoid.

 

[MartinR]

I have a picture somewhere shall try and dig it out.. but you are throwing money away buying apex!!

If so many people told me how bad they are like above i would run a mile! Trust me steer clear..

 

[clio2012]

i have just bought a car with these on, lol
whats a good alternative?

wanna go cheap and low, go for raceland coilovers.

mine had apex' fitted, and they were f**king awful, car bounces through fast corners, you feel every bump in the road, and theyre just shite.

much better ride out of the racelands, ok, its not a touring car, but it feels like a stock car, just lower.
