Looks loads better, I expect they'll settle in even further... :happy2:

How has it affected the ride?

Thanks Mandy. Ed mentioned they might settle slighty more. The ride is a bit more firm but not too much over stock. So I am very happy :happy2:

They do a couple of different drops. These look like the lower version.

Had mine on on for 2 years without a problem. Great springs.

After just over a week mine have settled a bit further.  The front seems to have settled more that the back so it looks more of an even drop that it did straight away.

That is good to hear as I was thinking the front needed to drop a little further to make it an even drop :happy2:

Thanks Matto.

You will not be disappointed. The looks and cornering ability are improved with these. Just make sure the correct ones are fitted (part number: 29176-1) otherwise you could end up in the same situation as Arthur was in.

I believe those are the ones I've ordered. I'm also having rear anti roll bar and walk fitted at the same time so should make quite a difference once its done.

I'm thinking the guys at APS did the wheel alignment too?

Let it settle for a few weeks then get it checked again as it will drop just a little further and may affect the camber and therefore the wear.

Looks nice  :happy2:
