Apex are budget springs, but they're the best quality budget springs you'll find.

Remember, Vibrio is old anyway, so any shakes from stiff suspension makes his brittle bones creak.

I was going to go for these too Marcus, seems that 40mm springs are a bit thin on the ground right now...

Yes, they're a really thin construction - but super strong.

i ordered apex 40mm springs for my corsa c, xtreme motorsport went to fit them, and guess what, they dont fit. They phoned apex direct and they said that they were the right springs and couldnt understand why they didnt fit. You get what you pay for in most cases. I went for a 30mm drop in the end as im gonna get 18's

G-max are supreme budget!!!

I can't belive that Apex would be selling Corsa C springs if they didn't fit.

Springs alone will never offer the harsh ride and handling qualities of a full suspension kit.

I'm going to go for the apex 40mm if i can't find any others. I was wondering if koni do springs only if so i might get them if they got 40mm drop.

Koni don't actually make springs. Some Koni kits come with Vogtland springs, some come with ROC springs.

The Koni kits PVD sell come are with Vogtland, which are high quality TUV approved German springs.
