Ride is good! A tiny bit bouncy if you leave it in comfort but everything else is fine. It's a zcp..the ride height to me is awesome! It lowers it a bit less than the h&r's which I couldn't have since I have a relatively steep driveway.

Awesome. As far as daily driving, you feel like you've lost anything? Any bit harsher?

Any time you lower a car the ride isn't as soft as stock but I'd say it's just fine to me

Here's mine on stock suspension, 15F, 12.5R. Friend had them on his m4, gave them to me since he upgraded wheels. Comes out a little bit more than I prefer, but not bad.

Thanks.

This is what I plan to go for as well with stock ZCP suspension.

Any more pics to show front and rear of car?

By adding spacers, will the ZCP wheels be able to clear Brembo BBK's?


thanks!

I picked up a set of 12mm/15mm MS spacers a while ago. I was going to run 15f/12r but if you're running 10/10 and the front sticks out more than the rear I think I should run the 12mm in front and the 15mm in back instead of the other way around.
Does anybody have any input

If you have style 666 wheels I think 12 mm on back maybe better. I have 15mm all 4 and back sticks out a little bit..

Not sure why people fight the staggered set up via opposite wheel spacers; the car was designed this way, from suspension to RWD torque.

did chris install your HAS? ^

he's a stickler for vehicle leveling which in turn makes the rear on these appear lower than the front but really not.

i'm gonna go for the even clearance look when i make my appointment with them.

Yes, Chris set the ride height. He said he normally sets these cars up with a little bit of rake. I think he nailed the look I was going for.

It can go down a little more, but not much. Maybe 3-5mm if I had to guess.

Hey brother, so the car got lowered yesterday and I went with 15mm rears and 12mms fronts. It doesn't rub 98% of the time, at random once in a blue moon I'll hear the passenger rear rub a tiny bit. Do you ever run into that?
