You misunderstand me What I as trying to say was: if you want a 30mm drop, the Apex are good for the money, of course if you want a better ride/handling you'll have to spend almost twice the price for the same drop or drop half the height for about £50-60 more by buying Teins.
I imagine the Apex to be pretty hard, harder than the Eibachs which are harder than stock as it is. So if you want a nice drop and a non bone shattering ride, coilovers would probably be the easiest bet as you can adjust the dampening and possibly the spring rate if you've really splashed out. But, this is all irrelevant as the OP is just asking if the Apex springs are complete crap, value for money and the best in the their price range, which in my opinion, they are good value and I can't think of any other 30mm(ish) springs for around the same cash.
