The lowered one needs something. Maybe a lip? I think that would finish the look for sure. How is the ride BTW? I'm assuming this is just springs? Are there any issues needing to sort out?

It looks good. Wished the rear wasn't that low compared to the stock stance to looks to have a higher rake.

My personal opinion:
too low. the tire should NEVER go inside, it just looks totally wrong.

But really, this is personal taste and everyone how he likes it.
I'd go max 15-20mm down on the rear. MP-HAS should work.
M Performance Frontlip, spacers and the car is perfect (for me).



Anyway, IOMG is goooooooooorgeous!!!

A lip may or may not be on its way.... and it is currently on just development lowering springs from AST. It rides just as smooth as stock!

This is still the development set. The final set will be lowering the front slightly more and raising the rear from the current lowering status.

The IOMG definitely stands out! We couldn't be happier with the color and the depth of the paint. In terms of the drop, as mentioned in another reply. The final kit should be raising the rear just a bit and dropping the front slightly more than the development kit that we currently have on the car!

Does your kit work in conjunction with OE Adaptive suspension? Is it as comfortable?

Last but not least what is the overall drop in terms of mm F and R?

Happy to see it has somewhat of a forward rake now..I think your first time around it was more flat if not lower in the back.

I love that its lowered but as others have stated, it might be too low... but the offset is being too high.

Why are these springs so hard to obtain (KW, MP, AST, MSS)?

Yes the kit works with the OE adaptive suspension aspects. It feels exactly like stock ride quality just sitting lower. Overall the drop on the final spring set should be 25mm in rear and 32mm in front. The RND from the first few sets definitely helped the final product!

The photos are a bit deceiving because of the position of the sun/shadows. The rear just barely tucks and the front has a very small gap in reality.

To me the springs are spot on. Had a chance to drive Sean’s car and it rides OEM vs stock suspension. Really great setup from AST and looking forward to put it on the FPB car above. Lots more to come from both these cars.

IMO, that static ride height before cornering loads are applied is way too low for a daily driven street car. Just my .02 cents. Looks sick for a track or show car though.

Thanks Sean, when can we expect time wise the final product to be released? Just a ballpark.

I have a feeling a few of us are ready.

I find lowering makes the G80's awkward rear fender shape more prominent.
