Congrats. Could you tell me how you chose those coilovers over other brands/models? Thanks!

Thanks Bit, I wanted something comfortable and not to expensive yet good quality and it had to be a Japanese manufactured coilover. I did a lot of reading here at CL before I decided to go with apex.

Fredric, looking foreward to hearing your views on them!!

I have the Apexi WS on my car for about 4 months. They are very comfortable and in the beginning I was sometimes wondering whether they were not a bit too soft. They definitely felt softer than stock.

Since I upgrade my rims from 17" to 18" I think this combination is perfect. Great comfort, yet giving a bit of a racy feeling.

Softer than stock ?!?! I would like it to be stiffer than stock but still comfy. So it take corners well but is softer than stock?Can you post a more detailed review? What tiers have you got?

I basically picked the Apex WS because of the very low price (at one of the local performance parts resellers). I paid about USD850 including installation. In the same price range there was also CUSCO Zero1 and Zeal. Since I only have one car and it also needed to be comfortable, so Cusco and Zeal were out of the questions.

Before I went for the Apexi WS I had lowered my car with KYB sport shochs and KG/MM springs, but I did not like the looks and feel of that combination. I also had the stock 17" wheels.
After the installation of the WS I felt like the car had very soft and absorbing dempers, and the car felt like stock. I wished that I had gone for other coilovers. After I accepted the softness of the WS, i upgraded my wheels to 18" (235/40/18 + 265/35/18 with Yoko ES100) and suddenly the unexpected happened. The combination of the WS and 18" wheels is perfect and gives a feeling of control.

Therefore, if you are on 17" and do not go to bigger wheels, and you want a significant firmer ride, do not go for the WS. If you are planning to go for bigger wheels and prefer comfort over hard, the WS will be an excellent choice.

My car with the Apexi WS and 18" wheels installed.
Due to the poor road conditions in Hong Kong I decided not to go for the lowest possible setting.
