Several people (including me) were looking for pics of before and after installation of springs on P5. Particularly the spings KYMP5 was selling for $100 shipped. Easy installation and great handling. Here are pictures. I am in the middle of writing a very detialed how to. Hope to have out in the next few days. Hope you like.

nice!!!!but you make me sick with thoses chromes oem mags,i tried everything to get myself thoses mags,and damn,no body sells them,not even the dealer,they came only on the p5 with leather and chrome package in canada...it pisses me off,my car is black(e.s. sedan),i love the oem mags,but the same in chrome,would be amasing...

real nice spring job,perfect drop,really nice man... (thumb)
 
how do they ride? Can't wait for the how to. I've had mine in the garage for 6 months now and now its getting warm again so I have no excuses besides I'm a lazy mofo.
 
how do they ride.......

Rides great. I also just put on new tires ....the combination is tight. Cornering is better and more control in general. Only real noticeable difference.....dips in the road at high speed.

BTW - Toyo Proxes 4 205-45-16's......no rubbing, great grip. I highly suggest. (thumb)

Use some lens cleaner on your camera lens. Looks like you have a finger print on it.

Rides great....I love it everyday. They have seemed to settle a little. But no change in the ride. It only looks a little lower. I have not had one problem. This is a must!

I have started the how to and will get back to it this afternoon. I should have it up by tonight.

He he he......he said get it up.

Can you Take a new pic today?
Do you have people riding in the back, any weight there?
How much is the drop again, 1.5 F & R?
 
Yeah I think it is 1.5" f & r......it looks like the back is lower the first day but it seems to have settled more level. I will try to take a new pic today. I cleaned my camera.....it should take a better pic than the one originally shown.
