Apexi Coilovers for cheap....maybe
I'm not looking to get anyone's hopes up really high, but I thought I'd mention this so that folks can start watching this thread to see how things turn out. I missed out on group buys at other forums when the Apexi WS coilovers were sold. However, I found a place the other day that might have some in. I placed an order and they should arrive Friday. After I check them out, I'll post here about the transaction and the final cost. Stay tuned!

Well, the reason that I'm being rather vague about this deal is I'm waiting to make sure these are the right ones. They are the ones listed for the Honda Accord, but those are the Apexi ones that fit our TL. I'd hate to get people all worked up only to find out they have the wrong ones. If it works out, people will love it. Mine should be here Friday to check out...for...get this...$554 shipped.

Okay, I just got them in this evening, and they seem to be the real deal. Here's a summary of my transaction. I e-mailed the sales department asking if they had any in stock. They replied that they didn't, but that they could get them in 1-2 days. So, I placed an order on May 4th. It took a few days before they responded, but I tried to be patient. Finally, I received an e-mail on the 6th that they were processing my order. On the 9th, I got a message that they had shipped and would arrive on the 13th.
My thoughts:
The shipping is high, but the price is low. What should ship for $40-50 cost $95. However, that was offset by the fact that the coilovers were $479. On top of that, if you purchase more than $195 worth of stuff, there is a $20 off coupon code on the front page of the website. The current one expires May 15th. Since this is the only time I've ordered here, I can't say that things will go so smoothly for everyone, but if you're willing to give it a try, I'd say that Apexi N1 World Sport coilovers for $554 shipped is quite a steal. Remember to shop for them under the HONDA ACCORD section...not the Acura section.
So, if you're game, head to www.racerwheel.com and give it a try. Good luck!

btw, i know it's for the accord, but si this the same part number for the TL as well?
I'm just worried that this might end up like the H&R spring situation..where it fits, but just wasn't meant for it.. so it sagged.. ..
?? but still, a very good deal !

I have these coilovers and im pretty sure it doesn't sag because your're able to raise the height to your choice of height. if its too low, raise it up..
but sounds like a good deal to me.

I think I'll be ordering from them next month to replace my Tein S-Techs.....
479 is a good deal... especially for coilovers...
Although mine will cost 618.55 b/c of shipping and handling to Canada....
Atleast this is something that I can afford compared to Tein Basics...

anybody know if there is any Tax charged when recieving a shipment from the US to Canada? I'm really considering on purchasing these coilovers...
If Tax is too high i might not be able to afford them =(...
I think i heard its some type of brokerage fee,,, but not so sure

but for best results you need to do 2.5 inches, that gives the car better performance

there's one way you can do is ask a frd who's a US resident and bring it up to you in canada. then you will be tax free

samkws,
did you go with 2.5 inch drop? Or 1.75 inch drop?
I saw pics of your car, it looks like a H&R sport drop

i have almost 2.75 in drop and it has almost no finger gap
H&R sport still gives you 2 finger gap after the drop

Sam, even if the quality was excellent, it wouldn't keep the shocks from blowing or being damaged in an accident, etc. It's a valid question.
