the ride will be more bouncy if u just installed the springs with the stock stuts. the new springs will wear out the stock stuts much faster. best bet would be to get new struts along with it so the handling will improve even more

I have the Apex springs on my '98 Accent, and they were easy to install. You do need to be a little carefull on driveways and parking lot enterances (the front tow hook meets the ground easily), but they work well otherwise. I bought the Ingalls camber kit for all four corners, but never used them. My car only needed toe adjustment on the front, and the tires have worn perfectly. Better struts would be nice, but at the time I installed them, there were only fronts available.

the ride is a little hard
i think its a good choise for sport driver,
but if you want a show car, theses spring only drop 1 3/4",
i havent installed it myself because a shop near me do it for 60$ CND.
