I have never been fan of the blade wheels but painted on yours they look siiiick!
Also your car looks significantly lower than other VAP springs photos IMO.
It looks a lot lower because it is a lot lower. I got the VEL-003 (255 mm spring), usually RWD cars get the VEL-004 (290 mm).
I did have the 004s on for a few months prior to this, but I switched them due to almost no apparent drop. Apparently my car was one of the "weird" cases that barely dropped from stock after installing the 004s.
Stock springs VEL-004 springs
On my current setup with the 003s, I find that the front is perfect, but that the rear is about 1/2" too low. I'm looking into possibly addressing this with a spacer mounted behind the spring perch.

A couple pics from May when I first picked er' up from the dealer...Yup, those black wheels sure look good when they're clean but outside of that not so sure ;-)

Looking' good.
I'm afraid to do something like from a practical standpoint. The way things are now I don't drag anywhere. I kinda like it like that. The roads around here can be, let's say, "challenging". My friend is dragging his Aston Martin's carbon bits all over the place around these parts. No thanks.
In an ideal world I could lower it, but then there's reality ;-) You being in BC, well that may well be a whole different kettle of fish out that way.
Tail of the dragon shenanigans. saying she impressed me is an understatement.
That colour is like a chameleon. Almost can't figure out what colour it is depending on the light. It is very nice. Had this been available to order I definitely would have considered it.

thank you! It definitely looks very different depending on the light. It can either look champagne or even almost silver at times. This color is very far out of my comfort zone but I’ve really warmed up to it.

I see some daylight under that rear tire!
I love seeing cars being used properly
I can almost hear that photo.

So far, so good!
That being said, I've learned very quickly to avoid tall/narrow speed bumps.
All that really means is that once in a while I'll need to park at the end of the lot or on the street and walk a little further (rather than trying to negotiate the speed bumps within the lot).
Conclusion: lowering your car increases your step count, and is therefore good for your health!

thanks!!
I picked her up back in 2021. The original owner told me that it was part of the "presence package". I'd thought it was custom, but have since seen a few others like it of differing color schemes.

P.S. My 2015 V6S is 10-years old, since my purchase, come October. Still a thrill driving it.
