Suspension query plz

[JCs_VTR]

if you lower it 50mm on dampers and springs ie the apex kit on Kams would you need to change the camber and align it and is 50 more looks than handeling so would I be better off with 35mm

looking more for handling but struggling with money so Apex is my best option might strech to the blistein b8 dampers would it be worth the extra money compared with apex


any suggestions cheers :y:

bilstein is a better piece of kit in the long run but it depends what springs you couple it with
the apex is a well matched kit and works well for the price

as for the camber comment saxos don't have any way to adjust the camber

what are you using the car for.. if its a road car then really you'll be fine with the Apex.

It will be used on the track eventually like the summer but at the moment just building it really for example getting the supersprint exhuast system (when back in stock lol) then raceland induction want to lower on either apex because of cost or either b8s then do the brakes then manifold and cams and like struts roll cage ect :y:

Are apex good enough for track or if Im doing track should definitly get the B8s suspension for the long run???

it it's going to get track use the b8s and 155lb Faulkner kit is what I would pick

Depends if you're thinking of doing regular trackdays or just the odd one every now and then.

If its every now and then, but primarily a day to day car the Apex will be fine and there will be no need for a setup as advanced as the Bilstein/Faulkner combo.

What brakes have you got? If you've got standard brakes you'll be much better sticking with the Apex and putting the rest of the money into upgrading the brakes too to a 266m or 283mm setup which will also be of great benefit with day to day driving as well as on the track.

So basically dont stick all your eggs into 1 basket and spend heavy on just dampers/springs and nothing else because you'll be disappointed

Apex will cope fine for the occasional track day. With the money you save you can upgrade the brakes, fit strut braces etc and end up with an overal better car for the budget
