now before you say eibach, i know they are better so dont just say them because they are better
the apex are £80, the eibachs are 133, would you pay the extra for the eibachs? will they be that much better? bearing in mind im already tight now for the month after buying the wheels

from expirance, eibachs give the expiriance of a slightly more bumpy factory ride, where other brands let you know your driving a lower car

Wait the 2 weeks untill you can afford the 'better' ones.
I aint got a clue about them personally, but if you know they are better, its pays to wait!

pay the extra, the finish on the apex seem to flake off after about 1 year, then the rust and collapse. i had a set of eibachs on my corsa B, bought them in 2004, they are on another car and still fine

well, springs are springs. they are made from steel wire and powder coated. If you had access to a spring dyno (which I do) and te facility to make springs (which I do you basicly get the spec of the paticular brand you want (which if they are TUV approved is simple) and make a copy of them. all it is is width of coil, height of spring, progressiveness and stiffness (poundage).
then make them for pennies....

Then find out the spec on the Eibach 30-25mm springs for the mk2 2.0 ibiza. I was planning on spending £150 for them after Xmas
