Everyone, with the exception of perhaps one person, has been thrilled with the H&R springs. I believe the same can be said about the VAP Springs. The choice gets down to ride height.

Thanks Mark G. I think I may have met you at DuPont C&C a few months back. No problems with the ride. Only a few scrapes on the most extreme grades, including some ridiculous speed shelves around here, but only to the sacrificial chin spoiler. The Michelins hook up so much better than the P-Zeros. Nearly zero tire spin on pulls starting around 30 mph.

Also, did Avant Garde already know the off-sets needed to get the tires to sit flush with the fender?

I put a set of the AC Schnitzer racing springs on it with a set of Morr custom off-set forged three piece rims wrapped in the Pilot Super Sports. I had to do the springs myself because no shop would bear the liability of installing after market/non-OEM Springs.

Any good performance shop will be able to handle this job with 3-4 hours of labor (yes, that includes coffee breaks). Not having a safe way to raise all 4s simultaneously, I let someone with a lift handle work on the underside of the car.

The rear spring/strut assemblies are fairly easy to DIY but the fronts are a PITA as you need to undo and remove a number of suspension links and all the bolts and nuts holding those links need to be done up tight with the car back down on the wheels, something that's pretty much impossible to do without a hoist or a pit.

Looks great! Did you find a shop that changed out your springs for you or did you or do it yourself? I'm curious, because I had to do it myself on a new BMW 535i Msport I bought in back 2012.
