    i would go apex tom
    the spax stuff is only really good in a stripped out car i found

    koni might be worth the extra 17 quid

    i just liked the spax as it was rather stiff (which works well n the lanes by me lol)

    nope, I've just never liked the ride. Tried out spax on a couple of my old cars.

    Could sell Spax suspension too as well as PI, Gmax, but I try to only sell stuff that I would be prepared to put on my own vehicle.

    Possibly not the best business model lmao

    personall i would go apex

    i didnt see the apex when i did my 1.1 but if i did i would have bought it tbh

    the koni stuff is very good build quality but ive not seen that kit on a car i dont think but it could potentially be a very good kit

    i would say for the cash you cant go wrong with the apex kit though lol
    given the choice thats what id get

    but yea all 3 kits i dont have a bad word to say about

    Used to run koni kit before, was really impressed, did me well on track, quite a stiff setup compared to the spax shite!

    i dunno why people bitch about the spax
    i had them (and a vtr 22mm rear arb) in my 1.1 n it was very good round the corners

    it was heavily stripped though (no dash or anything) so there was no weight in it

    do you use it on track?

    i drove a car with spax then swapped it to billies, car handled different felt alot better on the billies.

    spax dont last that long when abused. But thats just personal experience.
