My car is so clean you could eat off it.
i have rota grids in the same widths and offsets on 255/35 and 225/40's and am running it quite low. rear arches are rolled and front arches have no issues with a 5mm spacer. you will have to run a little negative camber to tuck the rears in nicely but all in all no problems with contact at all or rubbing.

Nice one Dean, so you decided to keep your 15 then??... ^^Yeah that's what i was thinking, I have it all ready (whiteline setup, with -1.6o on rear lowered and arches rolled.. just need to add coilovers, however put it off for a while due to the expense.. The ride currently is a bit harsh, especially since the snow as the roads are **** - mini craters not pot holes!!i have rota grids in the same widths and offsets on 255/35 and 225/40's and am running it quite low. rear arches are rolled and front arches have no issues with a 5mm spacer. you will have to run a little negative camber to tuck the rears in nicely but all in all no problems with contact at all or rubbing.
Looks like I will be after some Apex Gen2's too soon... Just need to know what spring rate to choose for a daily / fast road drive.. Any advice guys??:nod:
Go for the softest - 6/5. This is what ive got and anything harder will provide too much of a harsh ride imo.

I went for the comfy's and I am glad I did because when I set it on the hardest of settings they were very hard. For occassional track use and every day driving then defo go for the 5/4.

My Tein's are pretty much the same... anything harder and it's bouncing like a Mario Kart unless you're out on track lol

Yes it must be the Fast Road as the springs were deffo the 6/5. Run about 10/32 F & 14/32 R damper settings (32 being hardest) and its fine on roads esp at higher speeds. It is quite stiff and you do feel potholes etc but the suspension doesnt crash out with bone crunching effects like ive felt in some cars.

cool thanks for the info guys!!
I'll definitely be going for Driftworks/HSD's again after I had them on my 180. They were miles better than the Teins I replaced, much more comfortable :nod:
Just ordered a set of 6/5 Apex gen 2, picking them up next friday from them Apex in Bradford!
here a pic of before my wheels and bumper sprays and skirts and after!

I've just fitted my Apex 6/5 comfies.
I highly recommend them, they've really firmed up the ride.

6/5 are fast road coilies
and 5/4s are comfies,
which ones you got mate, sounds like your enjoying then though.
