Where to buy APEX 40mm kit

[Tigger]

Can anyone tell me where is the best place online to buy the APEX 40mm kit ?

Product code SP150-4050-40 (Compatibility: All Clios exc. 2.0 Sport/V6 1998 on)

This kit is for my dci A lot of ClioSporters might get a shock reading this

Insurance people require me to have a form signed by a mechanic to confirm the car is roadworthy once the kit is fitted.
Hope to get it ordered/fitted so I can process the insurance documents along with my renewal forms

Thanks in advance for any advice

Im sure loads have got them from motorsportworld

 

[The Bear]

Motor Sport World, Euro Performance, Demon Tweeks, ProsportUK, etc.

Or Google UK search for apex 40mm suspension clio or the poart number or something like that and trawl through the sites to find the cheapest.

get it from MotorSportWorld ... they are the cheapest ...

 

[BRUN]

no, i work for Motor World, and we can do them cheaper than £270

most of em are £235 ish IIRC

certain i did a similar kit for R3OBC for just over £200

 

[Tigger]

Just rang them today - £269 and £11.99 p&p

I need to check the "bolt spacing" on the front dampers for the correct fitting - 52 or 56mm

 

[nobblebonce]

whats the ride like on just the springs

 

[The Bear]

Springs - Firm and pretty harsh over the bumps. Cuts out a good portion of body roll though.

 

[Tigger]

Better getting uprated shocks anyway - From what I hear people saying - Reno std shocks dont last long with lowering springs and cause a lot of problems.

 

[Tigger]

How do I check what "bolt spacing" I need ?

Just rang euro performance - guy said the apex kit wont fit the dci

He suggested a kit for a 172 waiting on him to get back to me now

 

[Tigger]

Help!

get the wheel off and youll see the bit that holds the brake disk on.... you need to measure from centre to centre between the bolts (or top to top etc..) this will give you the hub spacing. like so....
