Question Spring Recommendations for AP2

I ordered a set of Espelir springs for my AP2 a few months ago and still no ETA in sight, I'm tired of waiting so what is best spring going? It's my daily driver so I want a (close to stock) feel as I can get and lower the car enough to eliminate the wheel gap( keeping oem 17's ), about 1.3 -1.5 drop should do it. I was looking at the RSR Down Springs, any reviews on these springs? thanks

I just put the Swift springs on my AP2, and I love them. You can pick them up for $271 from Mike at Evasive motorsports. The drop is around 1". It leaves an even fendergap all the way around the tire. The gap is just under 2 fingers front and rear and the ride is great. Highly recommended.

I've heard many great things about Swift springs as well.

Check out their website

www.swiftsprings.com

There's a lot of interesting information that may help you make a decision.

are the swift springs ok with the stock shocks?!?!...and is the ride stiffer??!...or the same?

im also looking to get rid of the gap....i was thinking about saving up for the tein flex coilovers and i was told they drop about 1 inch..which looked good in pictures....so if the swift springs can lower 1 inch i might as well get those...since i dont really track or anything.

I've been on my stock shocks for a few months since I had the swift springs installed, and so far so good. My eventual plan is to get Koni yellows, but my stock shocks seem to doing fine so far.

Love em, love these springs.

Swift makes great product. I run them on my car (used on my Top Secret coilovers).

We price match everyone on Swift and we're a direct dealer with them.
