Had changed to Apex springs last Friday 18 Apr 08 at AT in Sin Ming. Lowered by about 30 cm which suited my need as the original body kit clearance to ground is aready low. I can say that ride comfort was not compromised, it now feels firm and stable compared to the bouncy feeling of the original springs. The Sgd 380 + 45 alignment was worth it. AT's Alvin and his team's workmanshp was great.

err, sorry. typo error, should be 30 mm. Thanks Bro Psyfool for pointing this out. No, the 30 mm is not obvious.

Brand is Intrax, but dunno where to get it locally because mine is a used set which was bought from a bro that dekit his ride long ago.. 2) The benchmark for coilovers in SG is abt 1k above, but bro ceratov2m has got TRC to customise a coilover for Cerato, but as said, non damping adjustable.. 3) Have answered in the "Stebel Horn" thread..
