You setup seems to be the same as mine. Thanks for the feedback!

You mentioned, the picture you share was with the springs just installed and before you drove her.
Could you share more pictures of your car since is should be settled now.

Even PM or link would be appreciated.

It's in a bit of shadow unfortunately, but this pic of a freshly installed set of VelocityAP springs installed on a 2009 Sportpack might be what some of you are looking for.

It's worth mentioning here as well, our spring manufacturer (and in fact pretty much all of them) will tell you that the industry standard is roughly 4mm in loaded height. So what we have measured as roughly 22mm being the median, could produce 20 or 24mm also.

I met my car buddies last night and 2 out of 5 thought my Vanatge sits lower than this:


Do we have other lowering springs options besides H&R (don't work with Sport pack) and VAP (not lower than stock)?
We have supplied the VelocityAP Sportpack springs to quite a few people with later MY Sportpack cars and they have all come out lower than stock.

Can't tell for the ride, I have not driven it since installation...
Hey Impulsiv, just got new tires for the car and they aligned the car to stock. I need to go over specs. I have the sheet of your last alignment will go with this. Today found that stock made the rear end on wet a little squirrely. Looked at this pic and "Hey that's my car" It drives great. Thanks for all your mods.
