Any reason not to go with a brand more people on here used, like H-Sport, H&R, Eibach, Alta, M7, etc...?

Sorry, I haven't been on the suspension section in a while. I have the APEX springs. Not bad springs at all. I'm personally a Tein guy, but at the time the APEX springs were right up my alley. As far as name brands are concerned, it's kind of like this. I have an Ireland Engineering exhaust system. It cost less than half the money that some of the more "name brand" exhausts costs. It does what they do with the exception of a few cosmetic flaws. These springs don't cost a lot, but they get the job done. The APEX springs have been great to me. As a matter of fact, I had a set on my old 2003 solid gold Cooper as well. They fit perfectly when I installed them. No fitment issues.
