[Mk2] [Turbo] Apex or Tein? Suspension decision.

Post by kurkjones »

Hi all.
I made a post not long back about my back end bouncing due to new Tein springs on my setup.

I've now come to a conclusion I'm looking for a more subtle ride. I heard eibach pro springs are the best but now discontinued, and apex are the up and coming good value ones. Can anyone confirm this?
I stay in a rural area with loads of badly conditioned roads and the Tein springs are quite firm for my liking. (I can imagine for track days etc they are awesome).

Can anyone confirm how the ride is on apex springs with any shockers?
Cheers.

I've got a pair of front Eibach springs which are almost new if you're interested, they weren't low enough for me! Good springs though - I was running with Koni shocks.

Apex are probably the better all-round road spring over Teins - not overly stiff but eliminate a lot of the standard roll :thumleft:

If you have uprated springs and std dampers the car will bounce or re-bound more. Upgrade your dampers.
