Apex lowering springs

[JordBaber]

Hello am looking to order some apex lowering springs about 30mm drop.. Does anyone have these and can recommend them? And I presume they are just a straight swap from the standard springs?

Thanks

Yeah they will be a straight swap as long as you  get the ones which are for the GTI/GTD not the normal MK6.

Apex are around £120 i think, I would spend the extra £20 and get H&R ones. H&R have some of the best quality parts I have ever bought.

I wouldn't recommend Apex. Spend a little bit more and get good quality like H&R, Eibach or if you're willing, go for the VWR (Volkswagen racing) springs from APR. I have the VWR ones myself and the ride quality is brilliant whilst providing the perfect drop - apparently they're rebranded Eibachs, but who knows

Thanks for your responses didn't know that apex had a bad name...

I had a look at the ones suggested and none of them offer 30-40 mm drop apex do

However you get what you pay for, tough decision

Can't go wrong with H&R or Eibach, we sell tons of both. I wouldn't go near Apex, they're cheap for a reason.

H&R provide similar drop i think, it was 30-35mm, but from experience, H&R typically have a rock solid ride. Eibachs, although aren't as aggressive, offer a much more forgiving ride. I've got a bad back from using H&R's in the past! Haha

I have Apex on mine and they are great. I've had no scrapes going over speed bumps and I actually think the ride is better than stock...

Car looks great with the apex springs.. Thought about apex however opted for the h&r hopefully should be here early next week! Can't wait to get them on 1st proper mod for the mk6

Cheers. This is the first car I've lowered and it's amazing how much better it looks not to mention the improved handling. The stock gap is huge.. You'll need to post a pic once it's done!

[JordBaber]

It does look much better you're right! Yes will get photos on hopefully by the end of next week and see the comparison.. If it's not far off what yours looks like I'll be happy
