..::PSI::.. - The PSI G80 Lowered on AST Springs (Before and After)

Sean@PSI · 03-21-2021, 09:42 AM

You ask and you shall receive! Here are the before and after shots from the AST lowering spring install still sitting on the stock wheel setup (19inch in the front, 20inch in the rear).

Sick job, Sean. Very nice drop!

Murf · 03-21-2021, 09:56 AM

Pretty much perfect, maybe 1/4 in higher in rear.

Blindside_137 · 03-21-2021, 10:09 AM

Much better. Looks perfect

MattTheCarNut · 03-21-2021, 11:18 AM

I watched the video, too. The 12MM/10MM F/R spacers look perfect. I'd suggest the rear springs be lifted a touch. It looks like you have some buddies sitting in the back seats. LOL

johndeere · 03-21-2021, 02:44 PM

Don't be scared. Drop the front a bit more and make it even.

LuckyBrand · 03-21-2021, 03:07 PM

Yeah the rear might be just a touch low but it does improve the look a lot!

esrt · 03-21-2021, 03:47 PM

Feels like it may be better with a 0.25” further drop up front for a little rake but that’s personal bias. Can’t wait to see the final product as you and the AST team refine.

DL335D · 03-21-2021, 05:58 PM

Looks really good. You have a transformers head connected to the rear of your car!

Indeed. I agree. Rear too low. But some people like it like this. So I'll wait for another one to come out. I'm sure more examples are on the way.

Agree with the comments about the rear being a touch too low for my tastes, but the front is *chef's kiss* perfect

More like a half inch lower in the front

PABrian · 03-22-2021, 08:18 AM

Do you know what the spring rates are and how they compare to stock?

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 03-22-2021, 11:38 PM

Nice!

blau3er · 03-23-2021, 07:26 AM

Nice to see such a quick turnaround!

I presume the final versions will fix the reverse rake? Rear is lowered more than the front currently!
