Sure...I'll let u guys know.... but currently I have the Tein S-tech on Stock shocks...but for shure this will make a big difference.

the front springs on the Apexi coilovers are quite thick and stiff compared to the rear.

the manual says its 10kgmm front and 4 kgmm for the rear...
This is what michael saw in the instructions booklet.

Shimbo519,

He got it for about the same price as what it is on www.racerwheel.com at ~459US. It came out to a total of 850 Canadian dollars , this includes shipping, arrived at his west coast door and was bought back east location in Quebec, Canada.

Chewi:
i'm gtting them about 850 CAD shipped to my door
By the way Shimbo519, I've read some of your past threads regarding your "lowering options" guide; Nice job on that older post in the past to help out the members for lowering their cars. Seems like more people are going the coilover way now these days with the prices getting more cheaper with more competitors of coilover manufacturers.

By looking at them myself , I have to say it's very nice quality and I think they are better than Tein coilovers - quality wise and ride wise.

If anyone has experience or knows the Apexi WS products well, can you take a look at Chewi's pictures of his installation of his coilovers to see if it is right or not at the below link. It is very well described by me in the other thread in "Problems and Fixes" section of the 2G TL forum. Can you comment on it if you know for sure if the installation of the FRONT coilovers is "normal" or not and are the Apexi WS coilover like the situation I described.

Link for possible installation problems with the Apexi WS coilovers:

Thank you very much.
Michael

I'm thinking about getting the shocks at the time, did you notice much a difference in the ride after you had put those on?

Are these a good price?

the is price not bad...

S-Techs are not too bad at all if you replace the stock shocks with something better
