Default lowering F-Type

Hi guys.
I am currently think about lowering down my p380 C.
From where I live, H&R or Eibach is the most popular lowering springs but I've never heard and seen velocity AP which seems like the best among F-type owners in this Forum.
Am I right?
Is there any specific reason that most install this?

Let me have some pics if you have the car lowered, Of course, I've check almost in this Forum already.
But please do if you have more and your experience for the loweing F type would be a good help for me.

Actually, I installed H&R spring on my BMW f30 320 diesel a few years ago, It was so worried when I rode the highways
Anyway, please share me some pics and comment about my idea.

Thanks all!

The primary difference between the VAP (~22mm drop) and the H&R (~33mm drop) is the ride height. The popularity of the VAP stems from concerns that the front drop on the H&Rs creates a potential scraping issue on the front lip particularly if people have to traverse steep driveway or garage ramps.
As the 3 front lip pieces are cheap to replace (~$100 for all 3), I don’t mind an occasional scrape. After 4 years, the original lips are still in place, albeit with a rough lower edge. I wanted the lowest possible stance, which is the primary reason I went with the H&Rs. Body sway has also been substantially reduced.




The lower it sits, the longer it looks.

Happy with my VAPs. Good ride quality, even in soft normal mode.

Velocity AP for me- ride is no worse than stock, although the springs can sometimes slightly overpower the shocks on "non-dynamic" mode

VAP for me too. Alongside 15mm Wheel Spacers & alignment...



Handles, drives & looks, spot on
