Jen7190 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I have Apex on my Gen 7 and alot of people have them on their celicas They are good, give the car a nice drop, and not too harsh on the ride, though you will feel the difference.

Biggy Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I have read that there quite good springs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva La Bloke Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 so these are a genuine bargain then ? mine's already lowered from the previous owner but its to low lol so these will actually raise it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleroo Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I have them for my Gen5 although still to fit them... Most people I have spoken to rate them. Cheapest I found was Camskill although that was a while ago so somebody else may be as competitive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvtiofman Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 As above. Got apex springs on mine. Had them for a couple of years now ;-). Definitely recommended ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr3bin Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'll put my vote in for Apex springs too. Fitted for around 6 months and can't fault them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimba Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) I did some reviews and looked around at apex, alot of people (not celica owners) said they are a harsh ride, feel every bump and were just a right put off Obviously these people ^^ up there, will know what there ride is like, but just to let you know there could be a chance you don't like them. Me personally I'm gonna buy eibach ones Edited February 27, 2012 by Gimba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr3bin Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) The ride will be harder - you're sitting on stiffer springs so there's less "bounce" in them. I've noticed the ride is harder and I do feel the bumps in our crappy British roads more, but you get used to it. It's not what I'd call "spine-shattering" or "bum bashingly" hard though - it's more noticeable but not uncomfortable at all. Oh, and you'll want to try even harder to dodge pot-holes once you're lowered Edited February 27, 2012 by dr3bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 So many people on this site have the APEX (myself included) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazz Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Have them myself and like them not a hard shock im them at all but ya notice the difference i have them in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Apex fitted on my Gen 5 too. I rate them. I don't find them harsh atall. In fairness most Celicas would have been relatively well set up originally but after 20 + years of use its easy to forget what they should be like. I just think my 'Apex' springs take her back to how she should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTsillycar Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I got Apex spring on mine and can't rate them highly enough. I think they are a nice medium between ride and comfort. Yes i fell the pot holes a bit more but not breaking my teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsolentMinx Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Cherz for the link Nev I'd not buy those ones exact ones though, as they aren't for the ST202 But CamSkills are prob the best place to buy them from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
