the 40mm has got nothing to do with it....its the fact that apex are shit. Coilovers will be amazing compared to apex springs and worn shocks because of them

Have you considered getting the polyurethane bushes from rally design?
http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=533_741_759&products_id=5123
They do two versions of bush if you stick to the polyroad/sport bushes instead of the race version they are a lot less harsh.
They are cheaper, easier to fit and will last considerably longer then genuine oe bushes and are not too harsh for a road car unlike the harder race ones.
Be aware however that your car may well have the revised later suspension set up so the tie bar bushes they sell will not fit your car but everything else will.
