despite how little it might costs, i'd be highly skeptical about buying APC products. not becuase of their reputation of rice, but what the hell would they know anything about making QUALITY coil-overs?
i'd definately pass on it. stick to GC's.

I would choose the Skunk 2's if you have a budget for it. If not, save up. You will regret the Ebay specials.

Suspension is the one thing on your car you do NOT want to take chances with on quality. Do it right, or don't do it at all

I stand by the saying:
"you cant spell "crap" without APC"
Seriously though...when it comes to cars, you really get what you pay for. If you cheap out on something, its going to bite you in the *** later. Like others have said...do it right, or dont do it at all.

LOL.. you know the OBX coilovers have a spring rate of 650lb-850lbs! Depends on the application. That's about the same as Skunk 2 and Ground control. What also affects it is your shocks. If you got stock or crappy shocks then why even install coilovers?

Them APC's spring rate is probably around 150lbs-250lbs, most cheap coilovers springs rates dont go over 350lbs.

Save yourself the headache and buy some real coilovers... it's worth it. If not then make sure you got some nice Koni's or Tokico Illumina's to pair them up.

i bought a set for my DA @ $90. Did a track day on them the next day for fun (w tokico shocks), then rode around on them for a month.

when took them off and they were bent to hell.

absolute garbage, but worth every penny.
