Just wondering if you have a lot of clearence issues on driveways and inclines and such?


also,
how bad is the ride quality and does your rear sag?

and lastly,
any pictures of your car?

I don't have a stillen lip, but I have the B+G springs, and I scrape the bottom occasionally. It only really happens when youre going into a garage, and first the ramp slopes up, and then suddenly it slopes down. You just gotta learn to take everything at an angle.

As for the ride quality, its definetely harsher than stock, and it takes some time to get used to. It's really nice and sporty on the highway, but if youre going over some rough roads it can get pretty annoying. The back of my car looks like it sits a little lower, but you only notice it if youre looking for it. Check my homepage for pics.

I have apex but its the same drop as b&g- 1.6 right? anyways I have 6 to 6.5 inches up front and used to scrape alot until I learned how to take driveways. I only had one major incident that I slammed the lip but that was because the driveway was flooded with water so I couldnt see how steep it was. http://images.cardomain.com/installs...60_86_full.jpg

Nismo,
how is the ride quality on those Apex springs? Not too many people have them..

I'm looking for the best compromise between a good drop and ride quality.. I have H&Rs now but I am not sure if I want to put them in.. I may not be satisfied with the drop.

well, Its kinda hard to describe since I have Koni adjustables which changes everything depending on the setting and also my 18s and tires change the way they ride. what I can tell you is that they are (to me) decent and not too soft or not too harsh. sorry I cant describe it better its just hard to say since the only other spring I have experience with are ground controls. sometimes I wish they were lower but I cant since the roads here are bad and I will be sraping alot so this is probably the lowest I can get without problems.
