Nice car! I bought my F80 zcp in Texas and immediately got a nasty dent just like that higher on the rear panel, must be a thing or something!

symple84 · 04-26-2019, 06:41 PM

Doing mine tomorrow same setup with spacers......

DallasLife345M · 04-26-2019, 06:52 PM

Awesome! Can't wait to see your pics.. my initial thoughts were my handling wasn't as good as prior to the HAS and spacers, I stand corrected. 120mph down a curvy highway today, it felt so planted and solid. Next mod.. wider tires and BM3 ecu flash.

LOL. I think you're right.. this past week hit damn debris on the highway going 100+, getting those buffed out tomorrow morning. Lol

Its crazy how much the lowered stance changes the aggressiveness of the CS

No offense, but what's with F8X owners and their lusting for spacers and matching aftermarket springs with stock shocks that were never designed for lowering? It's not like you guys are short on mod money.

Get properly fitting, well made aftermarket wheels or go with a full set of adjustable height coilovers. Ideally both; else, stay stock. Even if you push out stock wheels, it still looks like Tesla/i8 tricycle tires from the rear until you go 295s+. In fact, you make the OEM 285s on 10s look even narrower since you're visually elongating the gap tire to tire from rear view.

Before panties get bunched, just my internet op.

No I still have the stock tires it came with. Continental SportContact 5P since they have plenty of thread left. As soon as they wear out, Ill prob. swap them out for the Michelin 4s.

How's the weather up there my man??!

Nothing wrong with tweaking what came with the car to make it look better 'stock.'

Nah, it looks perfect. Nice job.

I haven't lowered my san marino blue cs as of yet but they are sitting on a set of brixton 265/30/20 and 295/30/20s on the rear and it handles like a dream. What brand would you go with for the H.A.S.? Dinan, KW or MP (even thought they are KW). I'm currently coming from a 16 M4 MT stage 2 with Coilovers. Ride is stiff.

Yo! You need Dr. Scrape(sliplo) for your front lip. My car is lowered and I still navigate at an angle through driveways. But now I don't mind the scrapes since the sliplo skid plates are taking the brunt of the scraping now.

I'll see if I can snap some later today.. any pic preference? I've been lusting after my next car already since my lease is up in less than a year.. debating between a LCI M5c, 992 911, or a 991.2 GT3.. decisions, decisions..

.. I even considered a 2017+ Huracan 580-2 if I could negotiate to below 150k, I'd just be scared with not having a warranty. 150k is my max for my next ride ..

Scraping, mines cracked now.. recently hit a hidden dip on a dark road, sounded like my car broke in half.. now sporting a cracked ghetto lip. Lol

Hey, thanks for the attention. No preference, just to see the overall shape of the car with this suspensions/spacers set up. I am awaiting for my parts to come from USA... and will be -20mm or 25mm F / -10mm R, with the same spacers set up than you (12F/10R) and 763M wheels.
From all my research, your car is the closest one from mine haha, so I just wanted to see other pics to make me wait.

Can you tell me what lowering do you currently run ?
No rubbing at all with the set up?

Otherwise, between all the possibilities, I'll go for the 991.2 GT3, or GT3 Touring...
