    Never heard of Apex springs for the 1st gen. Where did you find them?

    while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

      Some guy had a set for sale in Montreal. But someone bought 'em before me. Another guy I know has 'em on a 323 and apparently they drop 1.5" and are not as stiff as Eibach, but better handling than stock.

      But I missed 'em! Boohoo!

        I know they have been around for a while, I have never heard any bad things about them yet. I know they have vw springs also.. You may want to try asking some of those guys.

          Oh, good to know cause I managed to buy 'em anyway. Think I will buy some new ZX2 struts to go with those new springs.

                    Will get the springs soon and I bought ZX2 struts at my nearest Ford Racing dealer. Local Ford could'nt get Ford Racing parts ... duh. I'm picking 'em up next week.

                    At the same time I will also be bolting a strut bar up front and get new ball joints.

                    I guess the difference will be amazing!

                        FINALLY! The struts took 3 weeks to get to the Ford dealer and I finished installing the ZX2 struts and APEX springs this afternoon. Took my first ride tonight and I am pleased with the results.

                        The springs drop about 1.25". The ride is bumpier than before but not as hard as I expected. No 'cling-clang' ... just bumpy. Still better than my cousin's stock '97 Integra! lol ... My car has a great stance with the drop though the wheels look little (14").

                        Handling is WAY better than before. With the strut bar an short shifter I installed at the same time, it makes for a much more enjoyable little car!

                        Now I hope the struts will last!
