Just installed my NEX CoilOver...
I've been debating on which ones to get, Apexi or NEX... and it came down to features and the NEX CoilOvers has it hands down..
The Nex CoilOver System has Spring adjustment as well as Height adjustment, so you can raise and lower the car without even touching the spring perch, this means that you are keeping the same spring compression but yet lowering the car(the shock has a treaded top for adjusting the spring as well as a threaded bottom so you can adjust the height)
The ride is significantly harder yet alot more responsive!!! the height on my car in the pics is about a 3" drop. When we we're adjusting the springs I put it on it's lowest setting and the rim was tucked in the fenders...when I have time I'll slam it and take pics for you guys!

 

DayYyAaMMmMm!!! That is TIIIGGHTTT!!! How much you pay for them? Do you rub now since it is lower?

 

Any pics or websites of the actual spring? Wondering how they have top and bottom threads....

 

Matt,
They retail for about $1200.00 and they don't rub at all!! I was testing it out tonight, doing some hard cornering and stuff I'm very impressed!!!
here's a pic of them.......

 

hAHhaha... i was looking through your photoalbum and i was under "stuff" I clicked on the "stuff" again and noticed the pic of the NEX's... DAYAM you QUICK!!! You got some cool pics in there. I like what u did to the TL-S:

I thought i was the only one with a big collection of pics under photopoint. Check mine out Tanner!! Look under "wickedxsir@aol.com"

 

Springs look good!! Got to get those when i am able to afford them... Dang, those springs look short... ride got to be waaay different from Comptechs.... i would imagine it is real stiff...

 

Tann, your car looks AWESOME!

I jealous of the nice weather out there.

The NEX looks good, try having 5 people in your car and see if that would rub. That's nice, adjustable ride height.

another plus of the nex coilovers is that it's a straight swap...you do not reuse any stock parts! the a'pexi coilovers require the reuse of the stock rubber upper mounts (like the accords) and associated hardware right? so it's something that you can do yourself, if you are handy with tools, without the need of a spring compressor.

 

Tann, you set the standard! As Nate said, now we all need to catch up.

Looks great!

Thanx guys!!!! gotcha!! it's PhotoShop!! J/K they are real.....the questions about the rubbing - I'm not worried about the tire rubbing(up and down) but the front comes down so low that I don't think I can turn without rubbing.
DonTL,
I'm sure it'll fit, you got the right offset but when it's lowered that much the thing I worried about is the turning ratio(inside rubbing) My setup doesn't rub at all(turning both ways max).
Mike(TLon19),
Yup me too, I love the slammed look, I'll try some pics this weekend!!!
ID10T,
You right it's a straight swap, was pretty simple!! no need to compress anything!

Hey Tann,
I need your help. I am in the process of getting coilovers soon and was deciding on which one to get. But after seeing your ride, the NEX looks sweet as hell. I was also thinking about the Apexi.

I know you explained a little about the difference between the two earlier but can you explain in DETAIL what is the difference (also how much, ride feel, amount of drop, etc...)??? If it is long you can just e-mail me instead of writing everything here on the forum. I need to know asap because I want to get it before I head down to AC for HIN on April 7.

Thanks in advance Tann.

 

hey...sorry about starting a topic w/in a topic...but, i was looking at those pics...and was wondering : how hard would it be to create a side exhaust for the tl? that goes right infront of the left and right rear tires. That'd look soo phat!

That looks sweet as hell Tanner !!! How fast can you hook them curves at now??? Just curious, perfomance wise are the springs worth it($1200)???

Shyne--Spring time is near, so quick, grab a cold beer(new slogan fo' 7-11) ...

 

Tanner you know that I like that slammed look, pics pics please!! Put it on the ground!!!

 

Damn Tann, you beat me to it!!! I was gonna be the first one with NEX on a TL! Good job man, you think I would rub with my 18x8 +50offset if i slam it all the way down?
