Do you know if they maxed out the height settings on the springs? Or did they adjust based on wheel gap? Curious how I can mimic this stance with a similar wheel/tire setup.

EDIT: Just read where you answered this earlier. Looks great!

Congrats! Beautiful car.

Hey, I don’t have the exact measurements but I believe fronts are at max, if not, close to max. The rears, on the other hand, still has room.

I put a couple hundred miles on the car now since and the suspension seems to be settling.. I may need to raise the rears a bit.

Recent pics after a couple hundred miles post install.
Rears seem to be settling a bit lower than the front. May raise the rears a bit more.

Rennology · 08-08-2023, 01:55 PM

Any rubbing issues with the new front wheels and drop? Did you modify the fender liner?

Looks amazing man, great job!

Hey man!

Thanks!

No rubbing issues with this setup. I am running the OEM 827M rears with 285/30/20 PS4S tires with 12mm spacers all around.
I’m also lowered on AST adjustable springs. I believe Autocouture did some modifications on the fender liner too.

Perfect example of "less is more"! So clean and tasteful.

Now the problem with your setup: It reveals, how much better the G8x looks with 20" in the front opposed to 19" with the bigger tire sidewall! I think the perfect stance you applied to it (lowering plus spacers) makes it even more obvious, that the staggered 19" front looks comparably weak.
I say "problem", because ///M might have had a reason performancewise to do so ... but just seeing the visual difference, I would now say: I don't care about any theoretical benefit of the 19" front, which I probably won't exploit never ... whereas the much better look I could enjoy every day.

You take amazing pictures, really brings it out.

I thought about that too but I'm happy and pleased with the end result!

Quick update -

Reached a milestone with the CS and finally did the 1200 mile break-in service.

Car is alive and it feels good hitting higher rev ranges.

Glad I added a Dinan high flow midpipe. Again, this was a blind purchase, but it's much needed and compliments the soundtrack of the car really nicely. Gives it a louder and sportier sound, if you will.

Eventuri intakes are most likely next and is on the shopping list.

iPhone shots -

Gorgeous build - Welcome back, Nick! To your point, I’d keep the paint original since it’s a CS, but to each their town.

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 08-17-2023, 01:37 AM

It's a touch too low for the roads here in CA. But looks sick man. Nice contrast with the bronze wheels.

HELROTM3 · 08-20-2023, 11:55 PM

I hear you… clearance is surprisingly not bad. But I definitely understand your concern especially if the roads are bad.
