Default kyb agx/ APC coilover sleeves??

I know I know APC is garbage but what about when matched with these good shocks does that make any difference?

I don't think anyone here supports APC. No one will know and definitely not care since APC is known for making junk. Now if you were to say the generic ebay coilovers I'm sure some peeps could give you some feedback

I had the ebay coilovers on OEM shocks and it sucked *** IMO!

My bro likes his ebay coilovers on OEM shocks (95 Accord)

I guess it depends on the individual. I don't like $hitty products or half-*** doing things. Tein SS hands down

ya my problem is I didnt do it right the first time entirely (i have arospeed springs on blues now) and I want to swich to a coilover sleeve. I came across a good deal on the kybs and apc, so I'm thinkin of goin that route because of the money ($250 for them both, 1 year old). I cant spend 1000 on full coilovers because I have school overseas to pay for next year

All i realy wanna hear is from someone who has had this setup or similar, and whatthey thought of it. Seller says he was surprised by a good ride, but what else is gonna say??

thanx for any input ...peace

For $250 I would find some GC's and roll stock shocks until you can afford better.

maybe you could put some custom rate gc springs onto those apc sleeves and it would be kind of like having ground controls. I've heard of people doing this with ebay coilovers before.
