Eibach's are a decent spring, got to think how good are the coilovers going to be if they cost the same amount as a decent spring.

i went to buy apex springs kit off a seller on ebay and even though he claimed to have them in stock he didnt, cut a long ebay story short... i ended up getting spax ssx's for same price, on jamex shocks it feels spot on

They're a good budget brand. I had a full kit on my old car and it was a quite stiff ride but you could throw it round any corner.

They won't be as good as the likes of Bilstein, but they're not really a comparison as they're not a budget brand.
