i8 Lowering Questions / Pics Please??
I am getting ready to see what all I want to do with the i8 as soon as it gets here & #1 is lowering. I see H&R has a set for it but on their site it says 2015+ so does that mean they will not work for my 2014? I do not see why they wouldn't its the same parts no?
Also anyone here lowered? Please attach images of your setup as well as what your using & i8 model year & your opinion if the H&R will work for 2014 as well.\ Thanks!! |

Nice so then they should work. Sick look too by the way I think I seen this one with Lord's white one on Instagram before. And yours looks so low though how come other ones I see on H&R still have a gap yours looks like almost no gap at all.
Did your shop edit the springs to go lower or something? |

I agree - just get a set of wheels, I didn't lower it and it looks great just with a set of cool wheels and the ride is perfect as is! However, if you like the slammed look, go for it

I see you went with the Vossen wheels. That is what I will be doing as well as Vossen Sponsors me. Do you have a side shot by chance so I can see the gap better? Did you do any spacers? |

Thanks everyone!! I fly out in just 2 more days to go see & pay for the i8 difference from my r8 trade in. Then it should arrive here to my home in another week or less maybe I live 35 hours from where it is lol.

Also are your wheels heavier than stock and how does it ride? Any impact on acceleration? Thanks in advance but when I see things done that I'd consider doing if I got the car it is exciting to hear back from people who actually own these cars versus all else with opinions but no real experience. Thanks again folks! |

I see you have 21s. What size tires are on yours? When I initially saw your car I thought no way those wheels are real...somebody did a good photoshopping but low and behold...it's real. I live in the NYC area and your setup would be near impossible to live with and if I did I be spending all my money on new rims or rim repair.

For those that used the H&R springs, how is the ride comfort compared to stock. I've lowered every vehicle I've owned...sometimes it's been great, and well...sometimes not.
I really think the car will look sooo nice with just a little drop, but on the flip side, the ride quality is very very nice, and I really don't want to mess with it too much. So what's it like with H&R springs? Is the ride jiggly at all? Is it very close to stock ride? Any help would be appreciated Cheers, Scar |

Anybody else can chime in regarding ride quality and might as well as how much you paid for the springs.....maybe we need to do a poll or something. All feedback appreciated.
