[JD-1]

Wow it looks good. I was considering just getting a MSS kit.. but its super expensive. Not as low as the images APR had earlier lol

Looks like more of a drop than advertised (1/2” to 3/4”).

Looks, similar to ED / VWR. To me anyway...

I have to agree. It does look more.

Higher in the rear as well.

As you likely read, the APR provided pics are w 19” wheels and tires.

That car had 235/35-19 which has a lil bit more of it’s wheel gap eliminated due to overall diameter increasing.

Did you ever get to drive on the H&R OE Sports with the OEM dampers? Impressions?

I did not. Not sure if Hammersticks ever did either.

I like the look but definitely more than the APR advertised 1/2 - 3/4" drop, that's at least a 1" drop all around. To bad, I really wanted no more than 3/4".

Renck,
Just curious what % window tint you have on the front and rear windows? I like the look!

Thanks for measuring, Renck! I can only imagine that those numbers will go up a bit in the coming weeks as the springs settle as well. My ED springs were about 1.25" after a few weeks. Not sure these will settle that far, but definitely more than the numbers advertised.

Agreed. APR might need to invest in a new ruler.

Are you using the APR springs with the OEM shocks and dampers? So only thing changed was the springs and nothing else?

Sorry my friend, tint was already at the car when I purchased and I did't ask. My bad!

Yeah, not sure. But, I'll post back in a week or so. I'll be changing wheels and tires, so I'll try to do that before changing the setup.

Commute from Suwanee to Midtown via 141, 285 and 85/75 was good. I would say springs are around 15% stiffer than stock (IMHO).

Yes sir, only springs were changed at the car.

Interesting results. Curious to see how much the numbers drop as well.

But the fractions are hurting my pre-coffee Monday morning brain.

Wish I had done this with my recent DG springs install.

Well, I tried to provide as much accurate measures as I can. Do you have issues reading them, imagine me trying to take those.........

No man, I was kidding about preferring decimal points over fractions. All good.
