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:

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.

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?
