exactly.
if i was seriously tracking my car then i'd for sure spend more on quality coilovers,
but the only reason i'd want them for is to get stiffer ride and lower ride height.

I'm not sure if I'm happy with how today went or not. On the one hand, it feels like it was a waste of time. On the other, though, I did get some **** done.

Nikko, pick up the Megans, you'll be happy with them. Reported to be the same hardware as Apexi as most products are simply rebranded. Its my own personal opinion that the only difference between the Apexis would be the valving. For $550 though, DOOO EEEEEt.
