Im looking to buy a set of coilovers here right away and i found a set im interested in. They're made by Apexi and i was just wondering if anyone know anything about the quality of suspension made by them?

To be completely honest with you, some suspension products differ with each car. Especially with an FD, since these cars always find some way or another to be stupid and different. I'd just read up on rx7club, Rishie has a few posts outlining which coilovers he likes best and why and prices on them as well. It also depends on what you plan on using your car for. Street, track, both?

If you want pricing on Apex'i let me know.

Depending on what ones you are looking at they may be good for daily driving/some track or they might be plain overkill.

Personally I think coilovers are useless unledd youare doing serious track days. Chances are, you just want them to slam your car to the ground right? To properly set them up you must corner balance your car, or else you're car is going ot handel like shit. Maybe just consider some good lowering springs and shocks? Not neaarly as adjustable, but it would definately make your car handel worlds better that stock.

Just an opinion, but saying you have coilovers is always cool I guess

For an FD:
Street - Struts & Lowering spring combo. This will give you a streetable ride and be a hell of a lot better than your shitty ass touring suspension. Anything will be better than your shitty ass touring suspension. I would suggest getting in contact with Dave Gholke for pricing and availability.

Track - If you have the money, Zeal coilovers are the best for an FD. For the money, stick with Stance coilovers. They are extremely beefy and will take a beating and can have extremely stiff settings.

There is no real need to fit wider tires on a street car. You can already fit a 9.5" wide rim on aftermarket springs.
