:)
Introduction
We have a new batch of Apex Gen2 coilovers due to land in the next couple
of weeks. Theyre manufactured for us by BC and for the first time Ive decided to run them under the BC brand at request of the manufacturers who want to get a little more exposure. Theyre identical to the coilovers we sold in the last GB and have been selling before and after. We still have some of the stock from the last order so you might get gold and black BC branded or you might get red and black and Apex branded. Its the same product :)
Coilover features
The new coilovers feature:
New damper units with a wider range of adjustment
Integrated bearing in front spring top platform to prevent spring binding and smooth out steering
Lightweight bottom mounts to reduce unsprung weight
32 way click damping adjustable
Modular design allows easy and cost effective servicing
Various springs rates available, easy to change
Spring platform adjustable for corner weight adjustment
Ride height adjustable through bottom mount to retain full damper travel
Ultra reliable brand, very low damper failure rates with full warrenty and after sales back up
Pillowball front top mounts
Camber adjustable front top mounts
Rubber centred rear top mount for ultimate refinement
What cars do we have running the coilovers?
We have been testing them on various cars for a while now and are currently fitted to, amongst others, the following cars
Apex EDC/Time Attack V8 Skyline
Apex Time Attack S13 - SMs (1st rwd in class Time Attack Donny, 2nd rwd in class Time Attack Silverstone, 3rd rwd in TOTB)
Apex Time Attack S13 - Yaks (2nd in class in rwd Time Attack Knockhill)
Apex 2007 EDC S13 - Ian Harrison
Apex EDC Onevia - Kieran
Apex Test S14a
Apex Type RA Impreza
Team DCMS S14 - Graham
Team DCMS S14a - Pete
Note that the guys running these units are all experienced in motorsport at some level, be it competition, track days, etc. Most of them (SM excluding :p) also have a decent degree of mechanical knowledge. My point is that they know their stuff to a much greater degree than most people as they have a larger range of experience on which to base their opinion :)

Team Apex Impreza (http://www.apexperformance.co.uk/catalog/images/IMG_0239sm.jpg)
Warrenty and rebuilds
All Apex Performance coilovers come with a 10k miles 12 months warrenty against manufacturing defects and damper failure. We carry a wide range of spare parts so dont be worried should you nudge a kerb and bend a damper or bend a bottom mounts, we have plenty of spare parts in stock and ready to go. we will slways strip a kit if needs be in order to help a customer out and egt their car back on the road with minimum of fuss and delay :)
Our Impreza
Our Impreza is a fully road going car with full standard trim, no cage, just over 300bhp, its a day to day car. I ran it in the first session of the first round of Time Attack this year. I only got half a session out of it (seems to have failed due to damage started at a previous track day at Oulton Park when we had turbo failure) as one of the big ends let go. Despte this the car still ran 13th out of 44 with little more than Apex coilovers, KSport front 330mm brakes and Hardrace alignment arms. Not bad going :)
Whats available and what cars will they fit
We have various kits coming to fit the full range of Impreza (bar the latest 2008) with various spring rates including 5/4kg.mm, 6/5kg.mm and 8/6kg.mm. Id recommend 5/4kg.mm for road and occasional track, 6/5kg.mm for a little more hardcore track work and 8/6kg.mm if you do a lot of track work with track rubber (Toyo R888 etc).
ALL THE KITS NOW COME WITH FREE EXTENSION KNOBS FOR THE BACK TO ALLOW DAMPER ADJUSTMENT WITHOUT REMOVING PARCEL SHELF!
The coilovers
NOTE: These pics show the INVERTED units, we havent bothered bringing inverted units on this shipment so the GB coilovers will NOT look identical to the coilovers in the pictures below:

The boat is well and truely on its was and is due to dock any day now. The coilovers will be with us in a couple of weeks at the latest.
We need payment before the end of this month at the latest but given authorisation will start taking payments immediately with a view to start sending out the units as soon as they land with us to minimise delays. If you cant pay straight away then you MUST specify that you want payment taken on X date. If you dont do this then it will be taken as read that we are ok to take payment as and when we see fit.
