Hi lads,

Do you think Ԛ£60 for a full set of second hand APEX 60mm lowering springs is good value for my E30?

Also are APEX a good brand and is it necessary to buy new shocks to go with them?

Thanks,

Stevo

If they are not used or not heavily used they will be worth it.
You dont want to put saggy old springs on.
Better than stock shocks would be better too

Its not bad value. Im highly considering biding on a set of 35mm ones for my car on ebay for the same price.

If the drop is more than 40mm from standard then you should get shocks that match

I am running FAULKNER Springs. Good quality and not overpriced.
And you get whatever spring you want made to your specs for a small extra fee.

I think he is the manufacturer of quite a few spring kit's available in the UK, whatever they are labeled.
Ԛ£75 for a set of four but I think that's plus VAT
