maybe you can try to sell you WS and buy a nice set of fully adjustable coilovers. LandHo just got Tein Super Drift's, and my Silk Roads are on their way over from japan right now....

Thanks a lot for the sugestions guys....


I dont really want to spend 1500 on new coilovers, if i can keep the ones i have. I caled apexi and it's about 250 to have it reuilt. Although that sucks......It seems to be the cheapest/best option.

I haven't really heard anything bad about my apexi's except for the non adjustability.......

Thanks again.
keep any sugestions coming....Also, can anyone else rebuild this, or does it have to be apexi???
thanks.

From: Here and there, mostly here.
i would recommend that you have them Rebuilt at apexi since that is where they came from.

i hope u have a backup car to drive for awhile, when i sent my coilover in it took a good 3 months until i got it back, but that may have been because the actual shock body(shell if u wanna call it that) needed replacement and parts needed to be shipped from japan to get it fixed, maybe a normal overhaul of it will be faster then my problem since im assuming they have the parts on hand to rebuild it, either way, expect some delays, it happened constantly when i was dealing with them

i actually havnt gotten anything, dont really have the money for much right now, well i know what the problem was with the coilovers, when i got them they had some inch n a half spacer on the front shocks taking up some of the thread, but it jus so happens that the spacer was gettin in the way of being able to tighten the screw all the way, but since it was on the shock when i got it(brand new for about $600) i assumed that it was full assembled and i would just slap it on, but that led to too much flex in the top of the shock body causing it to snap after about 3 months of driving, so the spacer was the only problem i had, i took out the spacers for both and now its jus fine, i guess it was partially my fault but still partially apexi for not giving me any instructions to remove that piece, but its all over n done now n im happy, n the guys at apexi are real nice, well at least the guy i dealt with, he was real patient with me calling him everyday asking about the progress, yes i really did call EVERYDAY, it wasnt his fault it took so long so from my experience its good coilovers and i would trust apexi to rebuild it with no problem, maybe some time issues but then again i had to get things from japan over so that caused most of the delay, jus deal with apexi and let us all know how it goes
