Dropped on H&R with spacers

yahya · 05-11-2022, 12:34 PM

Installed H&R sport springs and 15mm spacers all around.

My thoughts--

Been driving it for about 3 months post mod and I absolutely love it. Body roll is pretty much gone, feels more planted, handles corners very close to my R8. Definitely a bumpier ride, but I don't mind the trade off. If you want a more sporty feel, I highly recommend it.

Oh and I also installed new plates :-)

Any rubbing at all lowered on stock? How are speed bumps

No rubbing at all. I'm good going over most speed bumps..but I do angle the car when the bump looks bad.

The front lip was more of an impact on driving than lowering the car was. I have to be super careful when coming out of driveways and parking.

Yup i did the same exact thing on mines kept the stock 20s although im thinking of putting some 22 alpina replicas, and also on mines i used 5/6 series upper control arms they are alittle shorter so more negative camber so the front tires plant more on the ground when hitting corners i also run 245/40/20 all around because i run 15mm spacers in front & 20mm in back i got youtube channel check it out, i will upload more videos and pictures
