Or raise the rear 1/4" - 1/2" as a prefer a slight rake. Let's see in a few days.

It's heading to the alignment rack now.

That's pretty low.
Looks good though.
It wouldn't settle more than 1/8".

Initial thoughts on the ride quality?

let's just say instead of sport or sport plus, its like stiff and stiff plus

i drove home last night and this morning in comfort mode. in this mode, its a lot stiffer then oem sport plus mode. i've driven/owned a few lowered cars over the years (e46 m3 pss10 and 2008 GT3) but they are not as stiff/bouncy as these VTF. perhaps i need to raise a bit? or perhaps i just need to drive and get use to it more?

i'll see how a feel in a few weeks. but right now, if you ask me... it's really stiff and bouncy in sport and sport plus modes. comfort mode is okay

Adding some day pics 😇

It looks great. But since you are saying how stiff it is I would raise it at Least half an inch around all four corners. Take it from there....

I think the height is absolutely perfect if the ride is manageable.

Wow looks amazing do u have the standard suspension or air bags in the rear?

You think the kwv3 would give a softer comfortable ride close to stock this low compared to the vtf?

Yes. Guaranteed.

Airbags in the rears 😇

Recently changed my spacers. Previously had the 5mm fronts and 15mm rears. Got new spacers from Ben. Now I have 15mm fronts and 20mm rears. The wheels pop out much more 🤣

I'm running H&R VTF

fronts = 29 1/2"
rear = 30"

I got the VTF and spacers from Rgsport 😜

Looks amazing. Are the new spacers bolt ons?

They are spacers with longer lugs. They bolt on between the hub and wheel. Here is a 5mm to 15mm comparison 😜

Cool, yes I have the 5/15 combo currently. For some reason I thought we couldn’t go 15 on the front but now that I’ve seen yours, I might have to do this.

The largest I've seen thus far is 20mm fronts and 25mm rears. But at that size, I'm afraid of rock chips. 😝

r33_RGSport Please chime in on the spacers. Was it you that had a thread going where you said we had to have 5mm on the front? Did they come out with new ones or help refresh my memory on this one. I feel like my 5/15 aren't cutting it anymore.

Pretty sure H&R fixed that issue and BEN have them in stock now

Yes, I have a long thread about the spacer in the F15/F16 sub-forum.
H&R redesigns it about more than a year ago.

Looks great Fern.

Cool, thanks. Damn I don't know how I messed that one up. Guess when I was doing research, I was reading an old ass thread.

Any update on the ride? Did it improve over time or still stiff and bouncy?
