BTW... all of your cars look great with the drop! Really excited to get mine done and get the spacers on!
In for pics of Roadster gone wide!

Talking
Before....

Install done!

After 50 or so miles of "spirited" driving


This thread was a great source, the install went smooth and I am extremely happy with the feel of the springs. The car feels tighter, more responsive, but there seems to be almost no sacrifice in the harshness of the ride. I will be getting an alignment as soon as I get these bad boys installed...



I will post up the alignment sheet and more pics when the wheels and tires are installed, hopefully by early next week!

There is no going back, 100% improvement over stock height. First install pics looked like the rear had a lot to settle down. Final stance after 50 miles looks great.

New wheels....I hate you ....those are bad arse wheels. Now what tires and sizes are going to wrap around them rims?

In for spec sheets and pics of new stance.

The wheels will be wrapped with Pirelli PZero tires. 245/35's up front and 295/30's out back. Wheels are 20x10 +10, and 20x12 +0

It will take a while, but it wouldn't hurt to check your install.

I have about 250 miles on mine (both cars) installed over one week ago. It's not uncommon to take up to a month to settle.
