what do you think to..

koni lowering springs? i know everyone prefers apex but found some at a really good price..but not heard much about them.

cheers :approve:

Apex look good but are rough as hell.. Had them on mine for 3 months now and its dropped it well but you find yourself watching for pot holes rather than whats in front of you..

Dont know much about Koni TBH but i hear Eibach are one of the best lowering springs for comfort and drop - May not drop as much as Apex but are far more comforatble

Honesly i thought 30mm wouldnt be noticeable but it is here's mine :-

 

[Ry4n]

oh does look good..
yeah was thinking to go for apex think we are on to a winner lol
cheers pal

 

[Rossy197]

Some will say lower some will say it looks ok.. for me its just right as it does look good imo and is still practicle, Only thing i'd say is the APEX do make it very stiff but gives it a nice bumpy feel..

will get coilovers when funds allow but yep theres mine down 30mm and you can defo tell the dif - let me see if i got a before and after ok

 

[Ry4n]

yeah i do like the hard bumpy feel..i had a 106 rallye and that was stiff as anything enjoyed it though, more sporty but yeah you can see the difference.

 

[Rossy197]

All im looking out for is pot holes lol... Aint got any before pics but what the hell your standard height so you get the pic... (no pun intended) lol

You gonna order them and fit yourself or find somewhere closer to you and get them done ??
