search you fucking moron. You lazy piece of shit. Why don't you search... I know everything there is to know about everything, but won't share it because you cant search....
haha. Sorry, i just had to say that cause it seems like thats what many of the douche bags on this site will tell you...
On a serious note.... I have the apex World Sport coilovers on my car right now. They are NOT the n1's and are NOT adjustable, but i have been impressed so far. Great STREET ride.
The thing i like about the apexi coilovers is that they can be rebuilt CHEAPLY. They charge 120 a PAIR, versus some companies that don't even offer a rebuild service. now i'm sure there are better ones out there..but i'm happy w/ apexi coils.

You should have searched, what I write below is a iteration of a post thats on this website.
Your talking about the N1 EV's and slizzoo has them on his s14 and likes them a lot. A few vendors out there selling Megans tried to claim they were the same, but slizzoo has run both and reported differences. I.E. better valving and construction. He also reported that they rode a lot better.
For what its worth, I am considering a set myself for one of my cars.

No offense, but he's talking about a completely different model of Apexi' coilover.
Their lineup now consists of:
Apexi' N1 Expert Type V (ExV)
N1 Evolution Circuit
N1 Evolution Street
N1 Evolution Drift
They are all distinct...ExV is the entry level one.
Circuit is the top of the line
Street is like Circuit but with more streetable damping
Drift is...different spring rates and construction? Not sure.

There's also a japanese site that is more specific.
Last I checked the evolution series isn't listed on most US sites, so I have no idea how this guy plans to get it unless he wants to go direct from Japan, and if you're gonna do that...well...there are probably cheaper options just as good (KTS, Megan, blah blah blah)

I have the previous generation N1 Type Pros. +1 for the old ones. As long as the front coilover is an inverted monotube design, you are on the right track.

ok my bad, but if he is thinking about the KTS Or Megan he is better off with the EV. Apexi USA is a stronger organisation support wise than the previously mentioned two.

Megans are roughly $200 (?) cheaper than the ExVs, and occupy the lowest bracket of coilovers that one should consider. For the cheap or cash strapped, those are probably the minimum you should consider.
ExV and KTS are around $1100..it probably comes down to which color you like and which is in stock, the little stuff.
I have the previous gen N1 Type V, same as Pro's with different damping. Favorable reviews from those that ride in it, from a ride-quality standpiont. Not enough track time or coilover experience to comment further, but what i hear is all positive.
