Default anyone with APEXi WS coilovers??

does anyone out there have up close, first person experience with apex world sport coilovers for integras? for the money they cost, i should hope they perform better than eibach and similar brands.

i haven't heard of anyone using them since i've gotten into "the scene", and i just wonder how they measure up.

They ride pretty well. I have them right now on my Teg, had them before on my EK. Haven't auto-x'd in them so couldn't tell you how they perform vs. any particular brand. The build quality is good. I have no complaints about them.

I've been in an ITR with them and had the "pleasure" of ripping them off the car in exchange for GC's with Koni Yellows.

They're okay for the street but nothing wonderful. Make SURE you clean the threads once a month, or you'll be left with stuck spring perches.

how about the N1's? i know the whole WS line is designed for the daily driver. as apex says on their website, the WS line is designed to perform how the factory parts should have performed. and since the N1 line is a bit more performance oriented, maybe some of you guys would recommend them.

so how about the N1's?

This was my car Tweak was speaking of. Great if you just want to lower your car. Really soft spring rates that are way too soft to drive anywhere aggressive. Good if al you want to do is pimp around the hood.... Not the track or autoX.

Nothing but over-rated

I would take some revalved yellows and custom rate GC's, over most of the packages tein offers.
