Esplier is the lowest spring with almost 1.5in drop when the settle. I have seen many other lowering springs in person, and they usually lower about 1in. Since I am used to my springs, the others look like they could go lower just a bit

So yes, if it is pretty low, it will most likely be espiler esp since they are blue. If you can still fit some fingers in the wheel well, maybe they arent espiler

thanks alot for the input. the tires dont tuck but its close i can fit like one finger (she's tight!!) i wish it was mine. i think iv drove it more than my dad so far. i also had a q about intakes it came w/ a spoon strut bar and they cut the top of the air box so it would fit. what are some good short rams or cold airs for it besides aem? maybe a lil cheaper but still good. thanks again

I'm pretty sure that Skunk2's drop 2" all around, and also if he has the stock Ap1 wheels... he could fit a finger or 2 back there no problem.

^Skunk2 only lowers 1in front and back.

When I was looking for springs, espiler was like .5in lower than the rest of the springs I looked at
