NOOOOOOOOO god almighty NOOOOOOO
-40 apex springs are in fact about -5mm
i had these before and got rid of them after 3 weeks of having them.
i'm not kidding when i say that they didnt lower to front whatsoever
Eibachs are about 100 quid ish..

I got at -40mm from my apex at the front... but I got a 1.6 lump in the front so that helps where as urs is a 1.2 so maybe thats why?! The rear I guess I got -30mm which is a bit ghey but gonna get full kit eventually

to be honest there a pain in the arse to lower at the back.
the springs are compressed so much that even if ya jack it up ya cant turn the adjuster rings without undoing the shock bolts and taking some od the compresion off.
when i get eh calibra theres a set on koni shocks and eibach springs going on her.
on the other hand dont get some cheap suspension kit like gmax u'll only regret it in the long run....good for looks crap for handling/ride
