Which coilover setup is better interms of ride, quality, installation and height adjustability NEX or Apexi.

 

I've asked around here on this same subject. I ended up getting the Zeal B2's, which will be here this week. Between the Nex and the Apexi's, I've heard more good things about the Apexi's. Ask BlackShadow: he loves his. He could probably tell you all you needed to know about them.

Bottom line, they are probably both good setups and you'd be happy with either one.

 

I got the Apex'is.... they handle great!! Like when swerving on the freeway.... but when going on normal roads in houston, the ride is too rough for me. I also hear/feel every little bump on the road. So i guess if you one of them crazy drivers, you'll like them.... but i like to drive while im high, and the sounds and the harshness annoys the crap outta me!! Im about to switch to eibach sportlines soon.... i have never once raised or lower the coilovers since i put them on, so there's really no point of me having a height adjustable ride. To me, this is the perfect setup for suspension: sportlines, tokico shocks, comptech sways, and maybe a neuspeed strut bar.

Hey Ken2000ac, how much you pay for just the blaze rear?? And where did you order it from?

 

Got it from ValueTL in Hawaii. Purchased it about 3 days ago for $450 for that one piece. He's having it air freighted from Japan so once it ships out I'll see it in maybe another week and a half.

I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve!!!

 

450 shipped?? If so... not bad... how much was the whole blaze kit? Why didnt you order the Blaze grill while ur at it!!! Dont like it??

 

The Nex is great they ride good the height adjustability is good and they are easy to install. The only complaint is I am having a camber problem with the Nex in the front.

 

No, that's the price of that particular part. Shipping is separate, which ran about $450. It's so high because it's air freighted from Japan. To clear up what I bought...here's a rundown:

Value Sports front bumper: $575
Value Sports side skirts: $565
Blaze rear piece: $450

Plus I bought the perfect fit foglight kit and the Inspire switch, and total all that up with shipping included...the bill came to $2,100 and some change.

It's not that I don't like the Blaze grille...I think it's phat as hell...it's just not for me, that's all. The reason I bought the Blaze rear is because I'm pretty sure it'll match the Value skirts fairly well. I would have bought Value all around, but the rear bumper's square exhaust cutouts just refuse to grow on me.

As for the price of the whole Blaze kit, I don't know...but you could PM ValueTL and I'm sure he'd be more than happy to tell you.

 

I have the Apexi Coilovers with a 3" drop on my TL. The ride quality is pretty close to stock. But you will feel every bump in the road (but it's not as bad as you think it is). That is just the trade-off of lowering your ride. But the handling is improved 100%. I can take corners much faster than before. I needed the adjustability because it started snowing here in NJ today so I raised my TL back up today.

 

A'pexi....Nex lick a*ss
