QP V changing the springs to lower the car and add spacers

[Alfadevice]

I put the 20s on, and lowered on FD springs and antiroll bars
Ive got my spacers delivered this week to go on also. Were from Superforma, 20mm front and 25mm rear.

Hi, do you have the part numbers of the springs and anti-roll bars, thanks again.

Formula dynamics in the USA.
I got lucky on some that were previously owned.

Be interested to see the finished article. I will get spacers once the lowering is done so I can measure properly.

You can get fd from Larini systems

All done.

All done.

Very nice. I like that a lot.

I believe they were about that price. In terms of the drop, I couldn’t tell you specifically, but a GTS looks great on 20s and mine looked the same.

This looked great in the flesh. Was at RG when I picked up the GS and I couldn’t stop looking at it.

All done.

Looking very nice. Now i want to do the same. Do you have skyhook suspension ?
Is there a problem lowering while fitted with the skyhook ?

It's only the springs to change. Everything else remains. I have been warned by Dale that sometimes the bolts strip the threads out of the hub so will be leaving it to a professional to do. Plus I have struggled with springs before and dont have a decent compressor. Just lazy I guess!

Might look at this myself, springs only to improve the stance. Does the skyhook throw any errors being squashed a bit?
BTW did you need black bolts to suit the wheel spacers? Not keen on spacers myself, unless they are bolt through which tend to need longer bolts. Just re-equipped with new chrome bolts so have zero desire to buy another set.

You use your normal wheel bolts.

Generally bolt on spacers are preferred over slip on.

No issues with suspension errors as there is no height detection used as far as I'm aware.

My thoughts exactly. I've fitted new set of bolts a couple of years ago as chrome had deteriorated.

Anything over 15mm comes with it's own bolts to the hub and then you use you existing wheel bolts as normal.

 

[Motorsport3]

All done.

May I ask, how is the ride compared to stock?
Any issues on speedbumps or when steering lock?
The gap between wheel and wheel arch looks sportscar tight!

Are the standard bolts longe enough to reach across spacers 15mm and greater?

You have to buy longer bolts for 15 or 17mm spacers. Anything more will come with fixings. Check this website and modify size to see the difference.

It's not as comfortable as stock. But I quite like it. Mostly the ARB, made the biggest difference

Did your spacers come with longer bolts from Superforma? Are they holding up OK as they look, a good deal on their website.
