Here's my AP1 with Tein S-techs!



They were perfect for me because I didn't want to go too low, but I wanted to close up some of the gap!

Went from about a 3.5 finger gap to a little less than a 2 finger gap!

They also ride very close to stock, just a bit stiffer!

Espiler = 1 finger gap less depending on what tire you run.

Just put mine on and love the drop, it low!

i am also comparing the two springs to figure out what would look better. i would not want the rear lookin lower than the front.

bump. maybe people can most more pics of their rides on these springs?

and wouldnt the drop look different between ap1's and ap2's?

3. I assume both are linear spring rates, unlike, say, Eibach? S-Tech should be marginally softer ride. Correct?
pretty sure the rear espelir springs are progressive...

the 2 on the left are the rear ones, if i am not mistaken...maybe The Professor will join in and explain spring rate theories

Here is a pic of the Espiler drop done just this past Sunday.
I have to force my finger to get it in the wheel well, good thing I have practice using my fingers!
