Default Coilovers

WEll its about time for me to buy another goodie for the car car parts been coming slow since ive moved out but i think ive narrowed it down to 2 choices

Apexi world sports

Im kinda leaning to the Tein just because its Tein, but i know that apexi makes great products too what do you guys think?

Check my cardomain...on page 2 is a short summary review of the A'pexi. Honestly, I got sick of hearing about the Tein and decided to be different. At the time of purchase I only knew of 10 A'pex Dampers on a 6th Gen, now a lot more have them.

Honestly the only comparison that I read reagrding the Tein vs. the Apex is that the Apex has a stiffer spring rate and is capable is much lower drop heights.

actually about those sylvania bulbs - are those any good - I was thinking of putting them in - but I think blue light is lame, are those white white or still look blue white?

I'm dropped at least 2" if not 2.5"...my rear tire tucks a little. those pics were when my springs weren't even settled yet.

As far as the Silverstars they're yellowish-white. Whiter than any Halogen you'll buy, but nothing close to HID. There is no such thing as a really white halogen. They all come out yellow or blue.

I baked them in the oven for about 5-10 mins at a time and used old knife edge to pry them apart (messy). I believe the temp was about 200 degrees. I know it was no more than 250. I resealed them with RTV silicone and rebaked them and applied pressure to get them reseal.
