apex mate

Yeah you want to make sure you take the original GM bumpstops and fit them to your new rear dampers. What dampers are you using? The SPAX ones allready have the bumpstops fixed into them so no need to worry...

mine havent bin on a week yet, do u hav 2 fit a bump stop on the rear shox , coz i did with the front, apex 60mm kit

my -40 spax rear springs are fairly new and the middle coils dont touch but they rattle coz there very close. i reckon tho in a couple of month they'll compress more so they dont do this. any1 els had this problem

my apex 40mm rears are like down 60 now

i got 60mm apex kit and its fuckin low deffently 60mm, same as my mates and his is 60mm but cant remember wot kit hes got

Yep, you will find that passengers in the back complain a lot more about a harsh ride than passengers in the front, the springs are smaller and have much less travel, which is a good thing because down 60mm if you had too much travel you would be saying goodbye to your tyres, and arch.

Be happy that it just looks low. I have a civic now, cant get a kit for it to drop it lower than 40mm unless I get coilovers, its hard to cope with high suspension when your used to 60mm drop.

Yes completely normal guys, only downer is they rot pretty quickly as the paint flakes off where the coils touch.

yea mines the same with 60mm apex springs!

so its ok then, handles like a gokart well fun 2 drive only prob is its so bumpy

yes thats right, thats why you get shit handling and poor ride cos there is no suspention travel.

those are the softer coils that keep the spring 'trapped' at full extension.

thats wot mines doin but with 3 coils

I have 35mm springs on my car and i also noticed that the two big center coils are compressed even when the car is empty,but i think that it's normal.

just noticed the rear springs r nearly fuy compressd is that rite:(
