Title says it all, these are the Mina Gallery lowering springs for a 2016 F-type R AWD.
Noticeably harsher ride but not crazy, lowered by about 1.2" all around.

I have been debating on them for some time. How much did you pay for install? And I can't help but focus on the curb rash I am so OCD over things like that.

 

I installed them myself so it was $0. I know, I bought the car with the rash already there and kinda ignore it since it's on the passenger side and I never see it

 

I lowered my car about two years ago. The benefits have been enormous in terms of handling, feel, and esthetics. Yes, you do have to be more careful but there is ALWAYS a trade-off in this life. For me, it is a completely different car [lowered] because I did not like the heavy feeling 'roll' on turns. The H&R lowering springs nearly eliminated that feeling and although the ride is harsher, it's well worth it. Like I say, it turned a near perfect car into a perfect car for me.

Cars are so much like women, if you want to be with a true beauty, there is a substantial price to pay!

 

Now for the VAP lowering springs.

Do you prefer one over the other? Both in stance/appearance and the ride?

 

VAP works better for city driving. The ride is basically like stock and the drop is still noticable. Mina is more if you want it slammed, it looks better but for Houston driving it's not worth the harshness of the ride.

 

Well even happier I reached out now as I also live in Houston so your review is even more relevant. Thanks!

 

That looks sick. Love the matte body, I'm about to wrap my Carpathian Grey XES and I'm torn between gloss and matte!

I saw your comment about the gutter rash - you can use a sharpie to blacken it temporarily, won't look perfect but it'll look way better than silver and it'll take all of 20 seconds
