Apex or Cobra lowering springs?

Has anybody got any experience of either Apex or Cobra lowering springs?

http://www.apexsuspension.com
http://www.cobra-suspension.com/

Particularly on an Integra, but any other Honda experience would be fine. Just wondering about ride quality and general feel, or any other comments.

I can pick either up for about €170, just cant decide which would be best. The Eibach Pro Kit I have on my CRX is a bit hard for a daily driver but handling is superb.

What I've heard of the apex suspension is quite hard. I haven't heard of cobra suspension before.
Eibach pro-kit is hard? I haven't got the same experience, it's just fine imo.

Yea I find the Pro Kit rock hard on my CRX using KYB shocks, the Accord is a lot heavier so Id imagine that the spring rates are quite different, maybe that is why they feel fine on your car.

If I´m remembering right anybody in here wanted to get the Cobra springs too some months ago. But he found out that they are poor quality or anything like that. Dunno anymore for sure...
Personally if I had to choose between both brands I´d go with Apex because it´s much more known and common than Cobra which I don´t know at all.

I have the Cobra Lowering springs fitted in my Civic!
If I had the choice again, I would fit the Apex

The Cobra's aren't too bad, they took awhile to settle in (giving the impression that the back was lower), but the ride is fine.
