Would be wary of using cheap springs as likely to be counterproductive. Eibach really the bench mark. Take a look at PFS - price fairly reasonable for set of 4. Also, would recommend changing shocks at same time.

Take a look at this post for further info;

I have a set of Apex myself.

Ride quality is not bad... a little stiffer than stock springs. With stock 17's it sits about 1'' above the wheels (-25mm).

Not heard any horror storys about Apex thats why I went with them.... I was tempted to buy the H&R ones though.


Is it for performance or looks?
