   oh and the ride on the spax springs is top notch, really rate them for road use, don't know what track people would have to say, their opinion may vary

   got any pics? or a linky? just bought a psx kit with 40mm spring, mines already lowered unknown amount when i bought it, i like the height it sits now but theyre just shitey springs, think mines about 60 now so i think 40 may be a bit high for me? drive will obvs be alot better on 40 but im not sure on looks? may have to adjust the rear too as it may sit too low lol

   This would also help me as i'm looking to buy the same kind of kit. I'm torn between the 40mm and 60mm kit but on kam racing theres a offer on and apex kit for 50mm and they are much cheaper.
   
   Whats the ride like lowered 60? Pics comparing 40 and 60 would be interesting too.
   
   Also, what are these apex ones like? Clicky

    cheers, i did not know that thread existed, lol, i like mine lowered on 60 its got a nice appeal but being that low its does tend to slide a bit even on 15's with newish khumo's on, think 40 is a much better drivers height.

    Thanks for the link, 40mm looks pretty low anyway, so maybe 60 mil wont be necessary.
    
    So its either buying these: Spax PSX Adjustable 40mm kit
    
    Or these for the price: Apex 50mm Kit with discount
    
    Thoughts?

    i lowered mine by 40mm, measured it all and used dummy shock to set up, and it seems lower then the one in the link. not worried about it but think it just may have settled a bit.
