Apex springs/shocks

[charles_vtr]

Hey guys so I was looking on kam racing and found apex lowering kits for what looks like a good price for springs and shocks (around £200) but I was wondering if they're any good for the price? Considering I'm a student..... :') also is it better going -35 or -50?
Cheers

go 50mm

you'll only wish you went lower at 35mm as it isnt much of a difference over standard

Well i went 50 but really wish i had went for 35 so bought new springs....

But both setups are really great nice and stiff without beeing to uncomfy. I just thought i was a little bit to low at 50. Looked great but wasnt really that great for speed bumps.

I'd say go for 50mm too, perfect height for a saxo imo. The Apex kits are a great budget kit.

i put apex springs on my saxo 3 days ago and i love it, just the right height with a spliter, it doesnt look slammed to the floor but looks nice , still scrapes thou

this is what mine looks like with apex 50mm springs on there

as long as you slow down for them, i cant see how you would scrape them :S

na all my road is concrete expect from the end cause the gypo people who live on the end would not pay for concrete so to get out my road i have to go over it and my spliter scrapes and some times bottom of the car

I had 50 on my saxo was perfectoooo

Well depends on how bad the speed bumps are... Some of them even if you go in snail paste and at an angle I still scrape a little... But it also depends on your exhaust, i have magnex centerpipe with silencer. If it was without silencer i wouldnt have any problems...

[LSOfreak]

i guess it depends on your exhaust, but it if its hanging too low then there may be a problem with it.
My cars at 90mm and only scrapes the occasional speed bump

i remember back when it was 60mm front 70 rear, barely touched anything

[saxplee]

if you go 60mm what do you need to change?

[LSOfreak]

you can change just springs, but its better to change the shocks too
