Pictures of your car on Apex Springs

[whatisjustis]

I took delivery of some 40mm Apex springs on Friday and whilst I've not yet got round to having them fitted I thought I'd excite myelf with what my car will look like with them on! So, pic-w***e away...

Side shot for you

 

[172Ben]

40mm apex springs

 

[Ian_182]

Both those sit really nicely

 

[whatisjustis]

Indeed they do. Thanks chaps!

 

[Christopher]

My old Ph1 172...

 

[maz172cup]

get ready for a hard ride

 

[whatisjustis]

My old Ph1 172...

That looks mint, Chris! Looks lots lower than 40mm though!?

 

[Christopher]

They were on the car for a couple of years dude... well settled.

I also had a heavy-ish ICE setup in there.

LOL @ people banging on at the crashy ride. Try coilovers, any coilovers!

Apex are harsher than standard, obviously. But they give you the drop for peanuts.

If you want an "uprated" spring, and no visual enhancement, go for Prolines.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

 

[clio_luke]

mine when it was on apex. lookd great, ride wasn't so good tho

 

[Christopher]

That's stunning matey

 

[172Ben]

Nothing wrong with the ride on mine. Must of been given a good set

 

[182 clio racer]

Heres mine

Apex are guff! Eibac's for me! Or KW's if you want coils.

Wow, thanks for that.

 

[182 clio racer]

Dont agree mate. Eibac's might be a better ride but dont give the 'look' like Apex and id rather not spend 500+ on coilovers. Each to their own i guess.

Got no problems with mine

 

[PeteCup]

Love the ride and feel of my Eibach Sportlines but love the look of the Apex drop. Dam it!

 

[Gary172cup]

my cup on apex.

 

[Christophe]

My old Ph1 172...

your old ph1 is one of the nicest i've seen. dont normally like them but yours makes me want one! you got more pics of it?

 

[planetx]

mine sits way to high on Apex - hence I need NITRONS

 

[.GAZ.]

well settled -40mm apex springs & std cup shocks

Gaz

 

[benmore]

those pics look lovely.

my sportlines did drop mine slightly, but to most people apart from those familiar with 172s, it looks no dif to std.

I am hard pushed to tell a massive difference anyhow. it is nice and sublte and rides nice tho

would like my sportlines to have dropped it the same as apex tho

 

[Andyman]

Been running Apex for donkeys on the Clio and still waiting for this ''harsh ride'' thing :S

Maybe its to do with someones sexuality whether they think their too hard or not :rasp:

[mikey123]

I just fitted my apex -40mm yesterday to my ph1 and the back looks like its been dropped 60!! Great ride, not thrashy

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

I was personally quite sorry i brought sportlines over apex's tbh feels alot smoother now and rides alot better but doesnt look a whole lot lower should of gone apex and put up with the "harsh ride"

 

[DazRsi]

Mine
Turinis are gone now tho :-(

shut yer face :rasp:

emm white ones off ebay lol

 

[benmore]

I read on here somewhere that apex doesn't just have a poor ride, it compromises the handling, makes it worse than std? is this true?

I am not saying it is before I get slated - I know nothing about it. got recommended to sportlines and then a set came up at a good price so just got those...

if the handling is as good as sportlines, I may even get some apex myself for that additional drop....

 

[Rudolph]

can u get apex for 1*2 16v 54 reg?

 

[Hutchie]

the "harsh ride" on apex springs is this because they are mega stiff or soft to make them low

hutchie

 

[PeteCup]

my cup on apex.

40mm or 60mm? Liking that alot. May get some to see what all the bad ride fuss is about. Can always revert back to Eibach if its that bad.

 

[Slammed172]

Had mine on for like 2weeks now, give a good drop but quite harsh.

But Christopher has summed it up pretty much perfect here.

[liquid_force]

love mine want it a bit lowere on back but not spending 800 quid for ten mm

 

[whatisjustis]

I always thought you were on coilovers mate, didn't realise that it was only 40mm. Must be nicely settled

 

[Mish]

Mine... although my coilovers are even less bumpy! It is a harsh ride

 

[liquid_force]

i want it lower but i would only benefit at back buy 10mm so not spending 800 quid just on ten mm when i wont still be happy had then on bout a year
