Im running Eibach springs, they are firm but very compliant even with the shocking condition of roads at present

Opinion seems divided on them for some reason, but for me, my Apex -30mm (new in box when bought) springs have been great, on stock shocks. No change from regular springs, I'd say, but visually much improved. I also catch my mudflaps on speedbumps but that is another issue altogether...

I ran apex springs on my rev1 on track and found them fairly soft, probably quite well suited to road use

I think the best way is to have a go in a few peoples cars and decide what feels best for you :thumleft:

I personally had my car on Teins with 17" and fully polybushed, and the Elise has totally solid nytralite bushes with GAZ gold pro coilovers and eibach springs and I find that fine on the road, maybe I'm just nuts... :mrgreen:
