   I'm looking to lower my car 40mm and I've found some spax and apex springs for pretty much the same price, so which is better??

   Well I've heard too many stories of Spax springs snapping.

   exactly the same springs, in that they are made in the same factory iirc, that said early spax springs do chatter which is very annoying! Unsure on the apex. Personally I'd go apex purely due to the deals kam is running nowadays.

   i have spax adjustables fitted all round(40mm) , would recomend to anyone. no probs and you can have pretty much the same ride quality when there are on softest position as standard. there just aint better than spax
