:.Testimonies.: Your input of Apexi WS suspension...
searched a little bit but only found a couple people talking about the suspension. Wondering if anyone had some other thoughts on the whole setup. Dont race on the strip or autocross, just looking for a setup for the street. I only plan on lowering my car 1.5 inch. Other than that i got the ITR LCA's just looking at what people think of the ws suspension.

I don't think you're going to have much luck asking about a street suspension in here.
From what I understand, it's a nice setup for the street... especially at the clearance prices it's been going for lately. I still wouldn't buy it personally though... for the same amount of money you can buy a set of Koni yellows and ground control springs/perches. Get some fairly soft spring rates and you've got yourself the same or better ride quality, adjustable shocks, a more standard (at least in the US) size spring and better service options should you need it.\
It might not be as impressive on your "mod list" but there's a reason so many people run it.

Re: :.Testimonies.: Your input of Apexi WS suspension... (JeffS)
I have had these coilovers for about 3 years. I am very happy with them, but I am only using them on the street. Like JeffS said, they are an excellent street setup, an upgrade in handling, but does not overly compromise comfort. I also got a good deal on them, less than $800.
If I were to do it again though, I must say I might be more likely to go with a Koni/GC setup, since you have more flexibility with custom spring rates. I would especially consider it, if autocrossing or roadracing, etc. is in the near future.
If you plan to only use them on the street, it seems like a win, win situation. The WS's are great, and I have heard nothing but good things about koni yellows/GC combo's.

i have had them for around 2 years now. for the street, i have no complaints. They offer a comfortable and responsive ride. for autox, i think they might be too soft. i'll have to "upgrade" to koni yellows/gc and tell u the answer. overall, id give it a 8 out of 10 stars. im happy with them, but if i planned on tracking my car more often, i would not choose them.
