Apex'i Coilovers

I've haven't heard much about Apexi's line of coilovers, does anyone have them on their car or have an opinion about them. I found a set of the N1 Pro's for sale and i was wondering if anyone knew how they performed. Thanks...

where did you read this to confirm it? im not doubting you because i also heard of this. looks sorta the same, specs the same, pistons the same, but valving is unsure because valving cannot be compared from the outside.

its juss hard to believe apexi, a big *** company with plenty of resources would rebadge taiwan products.

MR coils are from BorChann or some **** like that, and BC is from Taiwan.

some poeple say its not the same tho. some say the exv bracket is bigger than the MR, and the MR has cutouts on the bracket as apexi doesnt

above is what was told from a dealer. but he can be saying that to make a sale

I was interested in the N1 Pro's (the $2,500 ones, but i found them on sale). Are the N1 Pro's are different from the EXV??

heres an anology for you

is a M3 the same as a 325i?

use logic and common sense. apexi wouldnt price one coilover higher than the other if it wasnt better

EXV is apexi entery damper

No that wasn't the case. I've never heard of the EXV so i didn't know where it was at in the Apex'i line-up. The only coilovers i knew they had were World Sport and N1 damper.

even if you havent heard of the EXV, look at the feature of the coilover and mainly the price. and i believe they stop making the WS to replace it with the EXV

Why do you keep arguing. i told you the reason i asked the quesion is because i never heard of the EXV's, i never knew what they looked like, i didn't know any specs, and i didn't know any price.
