Apex Engineered thoughts?

Keep seeing this outfit advertised, has anyone used their suspension stuff? Thoughts on their products?

I would love to have their full suspension package front and rear. I have seen a few videos of the fronts being installed and they look pretty well made.

There is someone on the 510 Realm site that did front and rear on his 510. Just do a search.

To me they look pretty well made.

And now they have a rack and pinion conversion.

i've seen it as well, interesting on an anecdotal level, but thats all. For B/Sedan race cars like mine, most of their stuff is expensive and illegal and really doesn't yield an advantage anyway. The stuff they sell that is legal has been offered by several other companies for a long time already. If you run a modded street car, i guess its up to you - this looks like a place to spend money to be different, not really go fast and not solving any problems. Trying to improve on the handling of a 510 is not a great business model....the car is already well supported.

I saw that rack and pinion setup.

I will give them some credit, they have made some adjustments from feedback. I know DP Racing has also made some mods to their brake kits or made special kits to fit the Apex stuff (for example, their rear disc brake kit brackets would not fit on the Apex rear hubs originally due to clearances).

As RoadRace said, for B sedan vintage cars, there is no real application (although a case might be made the rear mods could be considered "legal", but not really in the vintage spirit of the 1980 GCR).

A friend of mine is using their idler arm on his 510 and likes it, he did have to wait almost 2 months to get it.

Their first Z rear setups were sketchy IMO. They've changed the design now it looks like. Before they basically had one heim in shear holding the whole thing in place. The 510 rear setup looks decent
