Default VAP vs H&R Springs

Unhingd...How much lower, comparatively speaking, does each measure?
and thanks for your very precise, professional
advice.

On the F-Type...The H&R springs typically lower the care 1.3" front and rear. On the VAP springs the drop is typically 7/8" front and rear. I say "Typically" because it is not always exactly that, but close.

Check out the thread linked below, it has a lot of info and part numbers.

Also, the second link is to VAP site where you can look up your correct springs.

I just ordered my H&R springs and Michelin tires, but I'm still torn on the wheel options.

I am also at the point where I have to change the car's tires as my tires are 7 years old but only with 10,000 mi on the odometer. I called tire rack inquiring about the new Michelin pilot Sport S5. After speaking with the sales representative I was told that the 265 size and the 305 size tire which is on the F-Type SVR will not be available for at least 6 months at the minimum.
