you mean Apex springs, not Apex'i springs right?

i had Apex springs on my 89 GTS (ST164) and i was VERY satisfied. the ride height, stiffness, comfort and especially the handling, were all perfect. not sure if the same applies for the 6th gens..

anyway, if you go to www.jdmperformance.co.uk, it says it drops it by 35mm (1.5")

Easy way to tell.

APEX springs are yellow. APEX'i springs are RED.

If they are truly ST185 springs, note that they will lower your car less then the rated amount, because your car is lighter.

Here is a picture of REAL APEX'i ST185 springs:




My notes show spring rates of 300F and 212R for APEX'i springs. There may have been more then 1 version though.
