Personally I'd stick with the Eibach's - a lot of people on here have used them and also good reviews too. Not heard much re Apex ones...

Might be worth looking into pairing the springs with some hubcentric wheel spacers to just fill the arches out a bit more.

I'm sure Tom (hillbill) will give you a link to the ones he bought as they look great on his car.

As you say, Eibach have a great reputation (toying with them myself). I believe Planet_saxx (Stew) used Apex & rated them highly. See his thread here - Click Here - They're also painted bright yellow!

 This guy says he's lowered his 35mm, doesn't say on what make of springs but this doesn't look as low as skippy's to me!

Very confused!

 Skippy's may be on the Eibach Sportline C4/307 springs which lower by about 55mm.

 Believe there was a thread for that Loeb somewhere. I know it's in Ireland as he used to post on here.

See could be using wheels with unusual profile tyres or just not be the same kind of springs as most others. There is a big variation.

 Those wheels don't look as big as the standard ones to me, maybe that's why it doesn't look as low? I might be wrong tho'

 Believe they were 17's just the design makes them look smaller.

 Here's the thread for that Irish Loeb... - Click Here -

Measurements are never going to be spot on either, as Tom says there's going to be variation. Some cars sit a bit higher/lower than others in standard form.

Just to point out, these are the ones that I plan to get in the future for my C4 - Click Here - Notice lower down in the advert it says "Lowers by up to 40mm", which does seem to the be case with these.



Also the Loeb at the start of this thread (copied above to save going page back) might appear lower than others - the picture angle is slightly higher than that of a straight on side profile picture. Optical illusion, if you like...
