Thumbs up I love my Apexi

I really love how my car handles right now, it's just too gd compare with the stock

ever since i got the Apexi WS coilovers i got nth but compliments, the look, the ride and the road feel

the only bad feedbacks i got is the car is being too low.....probably the lowest of all in Toronto....(being even lower than Mr.Wiggs/Astroboy's TL-S)

i was on hwy today and did a few wild runs on hwy, zipping around cars with a SLK350 during the day and raced a Golf GTI at night, man my car handles so well and the high speed stability is excellent

i change 2 lanes to left and right at 100-110mph zipping thru the cars and the car is jsut so smooth with almost no body roll at all!!! very responsive and i can turn sharp at 100mph!!! i am very impressed with it and now it just makes me feel a lot more confidence with the car, i feel gd with it

man...coilovers are expensive but they do worth every penny~

Sam,

How's the ride comfort? Is it close to stock?
Ever since I got my Apexi installed on my car, I am feeling every imperfection in the road. It is starting to annoy me. Are you experiencing the same thing as I am? I told the mechanic to set the dampening at stock or softest settings, but maybe he did it wrong and set it to stiffest. My ride is one harsh ride now.
Could it be that the lower you go the harsher the ride? Cuz I think your car is lower than mine, but it seems that you are not having the same problems that I'm experiencing.

As for handling, it is like night and day's difference. I feel more confident going into turns. I am loving the improved handling, but hating the harsh ride.

it's harsher than Tein SS and Tein Basic, but it's better road holding and control, it takes time to settle and breaking in, after breaking in it feels a lot better

you cannot adjust stiff or soft, it only has one setting but i found it's pretty gd, the high speed stability is excellent and it's totally balanced

you feel the imperfection on the road is normal coz it's what supposed to be for the coilovers

which means u get more road feel...got it?~
