it used to skip about when i had pi 60mm rear springs, but the apex all round is a million times better, actually handles pretty well.
as for the ride quality, im not using apex shocks so i cant really comment on that, springs dont really affect that. im using koni adjustables, set on soft.

I hav a full apex kit lowered 60mm and on 16"s on my corsa gsi and the front is lowerer than the rear bye quite abit, on the front arch my tyres sit under the arch bye bout 2-3cm which looks pretty gud, the handling is very gud on mine but may very on different models,the ride is poor,very bumpy and hard but u get used to it. The rear sits alrite but i wud like it to be a tad lowerer than it is not alot but just so it sits nice but i supose its up2 u how much u want it lowered,if u want it on the floor then dont get an apex kit but if u want it sittin nice then maybe a apex kit is 4 u mate.

i reckon theres a near 100% chance that corsa starter is talkin about my FK kit that I'm selling on ebay.

as i've said in the description the value for money here is excellent in my opinion. The front is low yes, but the handling is amazing, and I never found the rear skipped at -40mm. I didn't ave any problems with my wheels however I only had 15" 195/50/45 et 45-49. But there isn't a lot of movement in the front shox's so i never found even wen i hit a big dip/bump with the wheels turned they never hit the arches. The rear isn't really a problem at all wiv most sized wheels as long as u don't go lower than 40mm. and obviously have a near offset to 49.
But at the end of the day you could certainly pick up some -40mm springs for the front if u wanted to, -50mm are rare but to be honest I reckon you'd love the look of it with the front wheels just tucked under the arch, and again for the money, they are £230 new and are at £101 on ebay last time I looked. I hope I get more than this for them tho, they are certainly worth more.
any questions u2u me m8.
