[Rudolph]

do they do apex for 1*2 16v 54 reg?

 

[182kev]

what about a cup pack 182? are they a slightly different suspension set up or is it just the spring?

Took these the morning after so have to settle a little bit yet. sorry for crap pics its allive got at the mo since it was done last wed night.

OMG i want to lower mine!!

 

[Christophe]

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...

How much you pay for the springs??

And does 40mm Apex Springs really lower as much as shown on some here??

Cause i had 40mm fk springs on my corsa and it looked high so had to get coilovers!

 

[whatisjustis]

I bought them off a member on here last week mate. Won't cost you much more than £100 new though.

 

[rob_clio197rs]

should be selling my apex springs soon, when i have enough money for my coilovers. ive done around 15,000 mile on my springs so im only looking for around £40 for em.

 

[Juego]

I just ordered a set off ebay. Cost me £75 or so posted

That looks perfect ride height. But looks lower than 40mm. Are you getting collies so you can go lower or just to make the ride better??

 

[rob_clio197rs]

yeh its definatly lower than 40mm fornt and rear its prob more like 50-60mm. they tend to settle more after a while. i want coilies for better handling thinking of doing some time on track soon and always wanted coilies aswel. the apex springs do make the car look a whole lot better than standard.

Looking at some of the lovelies on here I may need to look into some springs.

[whatisjustis]

The sportlines will only really lower your car 30-35mm. I know it's only about 5mm but it's all about the settling process. I wouldn't worry too much about the whole Eibach/Apex thing. It's six of one and half a dozen of the other...

 

[Christophe]

Sportlines dont lower enough for me and will always want lower so waste of money imo

 

[Gary172cup]

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.

just 40mm i had eibach at first but wasnt happy with how it looked so went to apex,yea they are quite a bit harsher than eibach but doesnt bother me really each to there own.

 

[clio_luke]

That's stunning matey

was that to my pic
cheers chris

im tempted to put the apex back on. the ride was a bit bumpy but i think i can sacrifise it for the looks!
my prolines ride really nice but pretty much no drop at all. as expected but i was thinking of selling and got prolines.

also... do apex shorten the life of shocks of will they be fine? i had mine on over a year with no problems

 

[kenny172]

ive had to replace my back 2 shocks, and front next week but tbh i dont think its anything to do with the springs just the usual faults

 

[MICKSID]

the prolines, are they the same drop as the cup suspension?

i have standard shocks on my 182, its not the cup, but wanna drop it a bit lower but practical too. but will prolines give the car a lower look or the same as a cup

 

[Timmay]

some noice cars in this thread

 

[Rudolph]

can you get apex for pre 05 1.2 16v?

 

[rikcup]

[beatjunkie]

Has anyone got a set of apex on koni shocks? 1*2

 

[dutty_112]

My old Ph1 172...

[beatjunkie]

That ^^^^ looks the bomb!!!!

so jealous of that, presumed it was on coilovers before, one day the monaco will have those wheels hmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Christopher]

if you want a drop and ride comfort, sportlines will be best for you.
prolines don't really give a drop. this is mine on prolines

then on apex

the apex are going back on next week. goodbye high and smooth, hello low and bumpy

 

[ben24]

this was on the first day i put them on , now i recon they are a lil bit lower as they have now bedded in

 

[And]

Has any one come acorss the G-max springs? are they any good?

 

[jumping]

[Coby.]
