Was thinking of saying the same.
Had Apex shock and springs in my bora and they were crap, more so the shocks were made of dung and I bent 3 of them.
But the spring seemed to go soft and get lower as they got older.
Replaced them after 3 and a bit years with KW shock and spring kit that was lower and the ride quality was miles above apex and the build of the shocks was far stronger and heavier.
Pity the car got wrote off after only 400 miles with the new kit
How much where these? Big improvement over standardThese came in the post today, can't wait to get them on

I had a set of Apex springs in my old 325ti and they were 100% tbh.

Funny story, my order was messed up by the stockist in England I bought from, to cut a long story short, I've ended up with H&R springs, which I know are as good as Eibach but tend to be a little firmer on the road.
Car is booked in for fitting tomorrow afternoon

Well I didn't have much choice in the matter, the last Eibach set was sold under my nose while my order was being processed, I wasn't told this until the following day.
I wanted the car lowered for the show on Sunday as the standard m sport springs make the Car look silly, with it sitting much higher at the front.
I was offered the H&R, I decided to take them after reading some positive reviews, I realise the ride may be slightly harsher but they promise to make the car handle even better.

I'm not a kick in the ass off 30 lol I would prefer comfort but you can't have your cake and eat it unfortunatelylol humbled Gav
I'm sure the H&R's will be just fine, young Brennan is merely a young pup so he will enjoy the added 'harshness'

Brennan I would be in the market for exactly the same boot spoiler. Any links to where you got it from? Car is looking very well!New boot spoiler arrived, M Performance one.
The one that came on the car was the smaller F80 M3 one (For sale now)

Thanks man, I got the spoiler from another member on F30post.com but I had a quick look on eBay there and this one seems to be the same as mine

I had H&R springs in the S3 and took them out after a couple of months, far to hard for my liking. Ask @pobmk4 about me pestering him lol.
Personally I love the AC Schnitzer springs in mine. They improve the look and the comfort is still there despite he fact they improve the handling. The added bonus was the warranty provided as I was putting them on a brand new car.
