For the moment, they are not available to buy. Kinkyllama and myself are working to maybe get an order, but it takes a fair amount of commitment from the buyers... we actually need to purchase 10 sets of springs before Apex will even talk to us.

Perhaps you could propose a group buy here and on Daewootech to get some more people involved (we can mix and match spring sets)

If you really wanted to lower now, there are intrax and a few other brands of springs available if you're interested

Can you not just find an authorized dealer ? Thats what I did, and they shipped me one set of springs.

Getting them across the boarder makes it more expensive than it's worth in that case though. It's cheaper if they wait for Kinky and I to figure something out, as shipping with no import tax is a bit easier on the pocketbook, and a mass shipment will be cheaper than a single set.

Of course you can get the from the direct group there, but I don't know that it's cost effective...

Tru shipping across border is pain in the ass. I got my springs there for $266 CAD shipped.

Like Audacity said there are other springs for our car. There is Intrax and another brand that I can't think of right now.

You rmean the coil covers? That is a differen suspension setup. As that replaces your springs and shocks with coil covers. Unless you plan on going to the track then it is pretty much not worth going that far.
