where`s the problem... you have a good piece of review in your previous topic. You just don`t want to buy them because business is closed?

If you can get hold of the Apex springs then why not, there's not a lot can go wrong with springs, and I've never heard of anyone having problems with them.

Out of interest, did the guys who told you they were out of business suggest any alternatives?

I'm sure if you buy apex springs from a reputable dealer like Camskill or Ricerocket that you'll get the same comeback on a set of Apex springs as a set of Teins, Eibach etc

If you are that worried then just spend the extra money on the Teins or Eibachs - I like the Apex because of the percentage drop front to rear - gives a nice wedge stance - most others have same drop all round which gives the impression that the rear is lower than the front.

When i lowered my black fto i used springs from chassis dynamics not sure where you'd get them now but a quick type into google i came up with these, looks like they were taken over by AVO these springs don't go as low as the old chassis dynamics springs (45 f 25 r ) but they might suit you as the ride in my black fto could be a bit harsh, especially on back roads. hope it helps.
