Well, they're fitted (Apex lowering springs -35 mm) and these are my findings; looks are just a bit better but i believe they need a few weeks to settle properly and they might drop a bit more , no?
Comfort is ....amazingly good, i can even say it's a lot comfier than my Miata fitted with way more expensive H&R springs, off course it's another car...
Price is ...even better , about a third cheaper than the "big" brands.
I'm running 17 inchers with 215-40/17 tyres and after lots of reading i found some sources pretending that for a correct look -35 mm is not low enough, but if after a few weeks it still has that monster truck-look then i'd rather switch to 16 inch instead of getting any lower.
Hop this revieuw is helpfull for any potential purchasers.
Pics will follow in a few weeks (after the "settling" period and the snow).

Can't wait for the pictures! I'm deciding on either these Apex's, Eibach's, or Tein S-Techs..
Want a lowered look but not slammed on either 15's or 16's (had a slammed sc300 on springs a couple months ago and it looked great but definitely not a daily driver =/).

Eibach Sportlines. I love'em.

Just the right amount of performance, stance, and comfort.

I've only bottomed out once or twice, mainly because Gainesville roads are..interesting.

Oh, and they should settle eventually.

Here you go aldizzurp...few pics after a couple of "settling" weeks , is 35 mm's lower and pleases me (daily driver...) but for some "tuning" lovers it may still sit a bit high, comfort and handling are just great (lot less bodyroll) but remember ; these wheels are 17 inch (215-40/17) so i believe that if you ride 15 or 16" it would just look great.
