Talked to a guy @ Apexi today on the phone about some dampers, they have a new one out he says called N1 ExV. He emailed me a Exel file of the press release & they look pretty nice, if anyone is interested in seeing these along with the specs I can email the file to you. You can email me at [email protected] and I will send the file over.

glad you started this thread kevin, i was going to post one up.. retail price is about 1600 for it.. i think its a souped up version of the old world sport since its going to be their entry level coilover. they had some on display at JGTC, but i didn't get a chance to take pics.

Charles ( the guy I talked to @ Apexi) mentioned to me that they are a step above the worldsports and a step below the N1 type V & Pro however the type V and type Pro are being discontinued according to him. The things I like about these dampers is that they are designed for US roadways as opposed to most other dampers that are designed for roadways in Japan etc... I'll post their spec's below:

Product Features
・ Full Coil Over Threaded Base
・ Monotube Shock Absorber utilizing a 44mm diameter piston
・ 32 way ride adjustment
・ 62 mm direct wound spring
・ 22mm Strut type rod (All others use a 12.5 mm rod)
・ Quick Adjuster, Coil Over Adjustment Wrench included
・ Exclusive Upper Mounts
・ Aluminum Brackets (Strut utilizes steel brackets)
・ One Year Warranty for (Oil, Gas)

Product Points
・ APEX Integration Exclusive Design
・ Compression and Spring rates specially matched for US road conditions
・ Ride settings calibrated for excellent ride quality and sports driving
・ Incorporates the same N1 Damper Series high precision valve
and piston for accurate settings
・ The Quick Adjuster allows for easy compression ratio (ride) adjustments
・ Strut types incorporate a pillow upper mount with camber adjustments
・ Other types utilize a rubber upper mount to eliminate noise
and preserve ride quality
・ Includes dust boot to prevent oil leaks
・ Includes spring seats to minimize noise

On the phone he used the words "coming out with other dampers" so it was kind of unclear if there are some others out yet.

do u know if there gonna make the circuit for the s14 they have it for the s15 nd fds, and cars known to become grip cars

edit: actually wouldnt the s15 ones work on s14? i think they had all the same bolt patterns and everything. and most coilovers have the same stiffness for s14 and s15. i was just curious
