Apex Dampers; a review
#1
Right I have had Apex dampers fitted to my car since 2011. Originally I would say the standard dampers on lowered springs and torsion beam did a damn good job, only got bouncy on the harshest of roads. Now since having the Apex units fitted I have found the ride uncomfortably harsh, the car bounces over every little bump/dip in the road and they are far too stiff.

I have waited enough for them to bed in and they have not improved in the slightest. I am using Jamex 40mm lowering springs with them.

So personally if you are looking for uprated dampers I would go with GTi spec OE dampers at the front and Citroen ZX (the shorter ones) at the back, as they are slightly stiffer than standard 306 units. I would also consider Bilstein B4 dampers as an OE replacement; but I don't know whether it is a case of "one size fits all" for 306s or they actually do separate versions for the different 306 models.

I tried the Apex units because I wanted to be different, but it bit me on the arse!
