    No, you'd go for the top end kit................ this is the problem with the forum, too many people always say get the best possible kit not considering that everyone doesn't have 400-500 quid to spend on a lowering kit. Apex/Spax aren't going to be great at 200 quid in comparison but they are still good, and for the everyday road user not track car/show car person worth getting.

    spot on
    read somewhere that the two track cars the Manic Motors use are on spax and they've had no problem with them

    perhaps you could expand on that. We only started stocking Apex after we found them to be better than their price would indicate
