Alrighty, so I've just purchased a new FTO. The Bozz Speed front bar on the car is simply just too low and I am looking at options to raise it up.
It has a set of Apexi GT springs with Pedders shocks fitted. I was considering just replacing the front springs with something different, possibly Kings. However, I found a set of 4 Tein S.Tech springs for sale.
Does anyone have any idea on the height of these springs? Also, any comment on Tein vs. Apexi as far as handling goes?

check out the website for actual measurements as to how much lower than standard springs are.... as for performance im positive they will be virtually identical, i think kings lowers car by 25-30mm from standard (just lows not superlow)
if you are still stuck then maybe consider coilovers to get that perfect hieght

I have a feeling the Teins are both super hard & super low... but yeah, check the website.

Apparently they are 45mm lower then standard... Probably too low?
I can't seem to find any information on the Apexi GT springs that are already on the car.

Yeah, I was looking at those ones. That's the reason I was enquiring about the Teins. Not sure if that is a good price for them or not.
Simon, if you could offer me a trade for some well performing, higher springs, I'd be interested.
