ZCP F80 w/ springs + spacers

SMC23 · 09-19-2016, 02:26 PM

Did you have to get an alignment with that drop? I am wondering if the same spacer setup can be used once an alignment is done?

i've wondered why as well. my conclusion is they did it for clearance, my evo ix was the same with much more of a gap in the front. if the clearance was the same front/rear as in other vehicles, the lower front bumper cover would be bashed to shit from unconscious drivers, curbs, driveways and park stops.

when it is matched, to me there appears to be way too much rake...

Posibbly... When it's matched, the car doesn't look parallel to the ground. I prefer the unmatched version

Were these H&R SPort or Super Sports?

elisiX · 11-13-2017, 08:23 PM

Not sure if the OP is running sport or super sport, but the front and rear look different.

On mine, it's perfectly even, front and rear.

This is mine on H&R Sport springs with 12.5 spacers front and rear.

Super sports?

Do you have any more pics of your car to show how flush the wheels are with those spacers? 666M ZCP wheels and OEM tires right?

elisiX · 11-14-2017, 05:36 PM

Sure.

You could definitely go wider on the front and rear, and I initially intended on going 15front, but 12.5 all around works well.

Haha a year later and my post is still getting some action

I was running HR Sports and the spacers i had were 15f and 20r

Kimeran · 11-15-2017, 01:52 AM

I'm using H&R Super Sports, with 15mm spacers at the rear and 12mm at the front.
My car sits the same as the OP (meaning slightly higher at the front, compared to the rear).
