long time coming congrats Ira

Is that about the same height your planing on with coilovers, or maybe a lil lower?
So far...I haven't had to adjust any driving at the height it is now, which is right around an inch...

I like the stance right now, maybe have it balanced out a little more, but I think it is a good height.

I may start a little lower and raise it as needed too. I'm still undecided.

What srpings did you go with? how much of a drop? I have been wanting to get some springs in the mean time as well since Im still uncertain on what coils to go with and the price difference.

The are H&R racing spec springs on regular AP2 suspension. As far as the drop i'm not completely sure, I believe its close to an inch all around but I could be wrong.

I didn't really look into it because they aren't mine haha, I am borrowing them from DJ Mike.

according to H&R website their sport springs will lower the front approximate of 0.75 and for the rear for 0.6 inch. and Tirerack sells them for $229.00 a set.

You are always on top on things!
Thanks for the 411!

Once they settle get your alignment checked.. on my ap2 I originally was planning on going with Esplilrs but settled on a set of Swifts on my stock ap2 shocks.. It was an interim swap until a set of PSS9s became available...


Good thing I didn't go straight to PSS9s..




Car looks good Ira.. i'm sure in a few weeks when I see it in person it'll look even better....especially compared to that stock 4x4 CR look..
