    APEX spring opinions? Intrax opinions?

    I'm looking to swap out my ST springs for a softer setup and was wondering if anyone has the rates for the APEX's. Has anyone used APEX and can offer any feedback.

    APEX springs will lower your car about 60mm or 2.36 inch, so you need caber kit as well and then some Koni shocks or belstain revalved.
    Is not good to run APEX without performance shocks.
    I have seen one black Accord (4D) 3G on U.K with Apex springs, 16 inch wheels and was really beautifull-Looked like a racing car!!!!!

    No, Apex is a U.K based company, normally its springs lowered the car by 25-40mm, but in Accord 3G goes down 60mm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    The other problem is that they haven't got Dealer in U.S.A(???) so if you want them, you must order from U.K or Canada.....:

    60mm is definitely to low, so APEX is out. How about Intrax, 1.7" F/R is good, but their website has no spring rate info.

    I had Intrax springs, they will work just fine with tokico. i had them on my stock struts and i had very little bounce.
    the spring rate is 247lb for the front, 97-257lb for the back.
