Default Apexi WS Coilovers

Anyone know how the Apexi WS Coilovers handle compared to the Tein CS. I know that they are not as stiff. I am debating right now on get the CS or the Apexi. I currently have Tein HA (up for sale once I get new coilovers), I like them at first because they were very sporty and gave good handling, but now I think I want something more soft.

Umm the Apexi from what I heard are .... My local source for parts wouldnt even sell me those coilovers... The guy said, its business to sell, but I know you personally and I dont even want to sell you something I know you wouldnt be happy with... So I bought the CS.... and I dont regret one cent ..

sorry to those who have those Apexi Coil's

Wow, I have only heard good things about them via searches and a member that just bought a set

Well at least Tein CS is KNOWN to be good!

Well, everyone has their own preference... Cant knock it til you try it.... Guess the issue was apexi makes alot of stuff for cars, and Tein makes basically springs n shocks.... A specialized co. vs. a general company in suspension... Also quoted to be about the same price.. ??

I have the Apexi WS for almost one year and am happy with them.
They are quite nice, and give an excellent ride. Also, these are a bit soft compared to most other coilovers.

Not sure how these compare to the CS though. Perhaps you can ask jtanoyo1 how the Apexi WS compare to the stock suspension, stock+H&R springs, and his current HKS LS+ setup.

Btw the Apexi are supposed to be much cheaper than the Tein CS.

I have made a decision and have an appointment this Saturday to get Tein CS installed. My tein ha will be up for sale if anyone is interested.

I rode in Alex's car with the Apexi WS and I was VERY impressed. Nice and stiff but not teeth jarring and we are talking hongkong roads here!

I personally have the HKS LS+ and wouldn't trade it for anything else!
