Not sure about the Apex ones, but if you can stretch to some Weitec's then it'd be worth it:

They are essentially KW V1's rebranded, even when running very low the ride is still pretty good :wink:

Completely agree!

I've got Apex rdx and they are much better than the fk highsports I've also had. Can't comment on other models and brands though but I'm happy with them.
-
I was thinking about the Weitec as well but apparently the maximum drop is 50mm. Im happy with a 40mm drop at the front but I want at least 50mm at the back and will be devastated if I pay this price and still not be happy with the drop.
Do you lads have any pics of your car with this kit?
Gunner - Roughly how much are you lowered and do you have any pics?
Cheers.

To meet a german standard they have to say that. Trust me they will go down A LOT lower than that.
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=127037.msg1340602#msg1340602 - Pics of them on mine. They had a lot more to go.
-
i have apex rdx,just about to remove rear adjusters and go lower,very comfy and no funny noises
-
I've Weitecs on my Anniversary and they definitely go lower than 50mm. Good comfy (for a coilover) coilover too.
-
Adam & Barry - your cars look spot on, maybe a little lower than I would be wanting.
Jock - about how much are you lowered and do you have any pics?
-
i'm down the full 80mm just now,pic is of car on a hill,but with adjusters off will be a bit lower

No way that's down 80mm. Mine is only down 60mm on the front and is lower than yours:

Mine is also down all the way on the rear with adjusters in:

well rears are down all the way and they go 80 according to dpm website so i can only go by that
-

I've lowered mine a small bit more since the pic in my sig. It's still not low at all though. I think that picture might be deceptive due to the height and angle it was taken from.
Whatever you choose to do, just avoid budget coils. I've had a few sets of them and they're god awful.
-
Ill get some pics of mine on rdx coils later today, mine are no where near all the way down so should give you a decent idea of how low they can go. I'm on 19's though.....

That really doesnt look low at all? very strange my mate has 40mm lowering springs with koni shocks and it looks lower
-
so what do you think of the Jom kits eceryone is buying?
-
so cars back from bodyshop and garage after mot and mechanic confirmed rears are down as far as they can go so why is it sitting so high? i thought i had broke something installing it all but now someone with a clue says its right i'm totally confused

Weird 1 that i know someone who ran apex rdx and he was fine.... however his apex coils did not last long he changed to AP much better he says
