i'm interested in gettin the apex lower springs.. they lower the car by 40mm i think

i was jus wondering.. do the rim sizes matter when you lower the car?

i have 235/40-18 on the back and 225/40-18 on the front.

or am i goin to get rubbing?

The APex spring lower the front by 40mm, the rear by 25mm. I have them in my car. I also have exactly those rim & tyres sizes.

You will get rubbing on the front on full lock - how bad depends on the offset of the rim. I've had to do some 'panel beating', use spacers & run offset castor (or anti lift) bushes on the front control arms to get mine to stop rubbing. Not expensive, but a bit of a pain to do.

i've kept myself quiet ever since i see the first post, but i guess by experience i should say they die out faster then normal springs ... had to change mine to King's in less then can't remember how km's i've done ... less then 65k for sure

is there a significant difference on how long the kings will last compared to the apex?

cos if found some kings as well and there isnt much of a price difference in them..

and thanks for that Bennoz.. i figured there would be some work to be done to stop rubbing at full lock.. just wasnt sure tough.. how long have you had yours on for?
