NEW pics of APEX 1.6" drop springs installed

just installed my new APEX springs with a 1.6 inch drop all around along with the KONIs. The pics make the wheel gap seem bigger for some reason. I dont know if I need the springs to settle a little more but I would like them to be a little lower though. I also have a pic of the painted calipers I did last month and some new interior work I put in.

up close pic of tire and painted calipers. again, I dont know if the springs will settle a little lower but the wheel gap on this side is about 1/4 inch higher than the other side because I lowered the other front tire 3 days before this side.

I'll tell you this much, with the Apexs, expect an additional 0.1" drop after a week or two of settling down. And have fun

I guess he has to wait for them to settle down. I measured the drop before it settled down and after, they were 1.5x" and then 1.6x" after about 2 weeks. But I guess not everyone gets the same results.

ADMAN

yes..not THAT low but you should have seen it with stock springs
I think its the rims. I only have 16s so maybe some nice 17s or 18 will look better.

anyways im happy with them for now and will be more happy once I get a kit to finnish things off.


ny96max: I have the stillen SS muffler

SprintMax: its lower than a 1.3" drop because I measured the ride height before and after the drop and its definately more than 1.3 and also I lowered the front right wheel about 4 days before I lowered the other side and the right side is almost 1/4 inches lower.

NmexMAX: I ordered them from 97GLES through his store. They now cost you $210 shipped.

Sprint settle? lol...NOT! I have the Sprint for about two months, they still have settle. I'm talking about the rear, of course. The front is looking real good, however, the rear just doesn't match up at all.

yea.. the rear still looks a bit higher than the front. for some strange reason, the car looks lower at night time I parked it outside at night and it seems to be dropped alot lower. Maybe its because the wheelgap is harder to see or maybe the springs shrink alittle bit when they are cold?
