dude, I've had PIC apex on my hatch since 07, those mother f***ers don't die. Daily whip too. :thumbup:
I know this is not the question for performance coilovers, but how low can you with them? I want to be tucking tire tread. Not side wall.

lol, they are complete junk, i had them on my g35, the worst mod i did to the car. they blew out really fast made a ton of noise and the dampening feature broke. the ride was more harsh that i liked,there are other options that are better that USE eibach kerry... gc/koni... but if i could do it again i would have bought something that was truly made in japan/usa/germany. just a complete let down.
Thank you for your your input of your personal experience with this brand coilover, but I'll take the opinion of someone who calls it "dampening" with a grain of salt. We aren't getting wetter here. Its damping big guy.

I agree with you here. Sounds like you had a horror story. I think I may have never had an issue because I never put them through what the average honda teenage owner does. There are definitely better options, and I suggested the eibach version just to further improve this option if that's what the OP truly wants.

lol learn something new every day, i read it as dampening/hear it that way, suppose its my dyslexic brain... oh well, i know you hate me, but in the end you seem to take my advice on lots of things, so i will take the abuse big guy :slapslap: i will say dont jump to a conclusion based on my poor grammar you may miss something important, again ;)

Yea at one point my tires were tucked. when i first installed them i dumped the car because 1: the suspension was adjustable (duh) 2.) because i wanted to ride in a very low car (lol)

Good luck man with whatever you decide to buy, there alot of companies out there to buy from.

I'm for sure getting the PIC selects bro, you saying they last forever, the fact they have a single piston damper that won't froth the oil at higher temps like the dual piston would in f&f, and I want to be dumped like the Kanjo cars (resonably). I'm still in love with Kanjo and want the most affordable street/track setup I can get. That's what sold me on the pics. Not buttbombtom's advice haha.

Here are the kanjo inspired stickers I put in my rear quarter glass corners on each side haha, I don't care if people think that shits rice, its bad ass!!

THmotorsports, they are listed the same as PIC's website but free shipping, and I've had nothing but good business from them after ordering my corbeau harnesses, and buddy club seat through them. They have great commincation with the customers and great pricing, I get 3% off every order too for being a repeat customer.

awesome, thanks for the info. I was looking at PIC's site and they are out of stock, and wasnt sure where to look. Its going to be a while but theyre what i want to go with as well.

12k/14k on the hatch is gonna be a rough ride lol. hopefully the damping helps out alot. i know the 10k/8k i had on my hatch was pretty solid.

Sweet, you know I havnt even called to ask if they were In stock or not. They might not be, they sometimes order through the company directly.

They are usually good to buy from. I had an order with them before and only after I received only half of my order, blew up their phones, and sent several emails did they tell me my other items were out of stock and back ordered. Then it about a week to get my money refunded. Situation got handled, but in a bass ackwards manner
