I've got Apex -40mm shox and springs but it hasn't lowered the car 40mm.

They've been on 6 months so won't go any lower, so I'm gonna get new suspension, but I need recommendations of kits that do lower the car 40mm.

Also, which makes are less bumpy than others cos mine is ridiculous!!!!

they adjustable? set them to soft.

You'll probably find they have lowered the car 40mm but compared to your old warn springs/shocks they havnt. remember your standard springs/shocks lower over time.

No - just buy a new set of -60mm apex springs. Chances are, it will only lower -50mm or summat.

You've got a great set of dampers, keep them! As for springs, if you want a good 40mm drop, try the Chassis Dynamics 90-024 springs - they drop it nice and even.

Pete

Will I be able to use them springs with my shox? And would it affect my warranty on thew shox by using different springs??

Do you find this happens with Apex springs often???
