how have you found your HSD's ive previously run apex GEN2's and within a few months they began to knock slightly, and ill be looking at putting on some new ones in the future and just wondered how youd found them ??

M.D.

24-02-2009, 21:05

i have them and they are brilliant, but a little hard sometimes for general driving so will eventually be changing to softer springs. but the damping on them is very good so its not an issue usually.

very nice looking s13, nice and subtle and some good parts too :)

The car looks amazing, although I have to agree with Quail.
Perhaps changing the front bumper to something less aggressive would be the last step to make it one of the hottest KPS13!
