Lowered the 718
Finally was able to source some springs and had her lowered yesterday
Very happy with the ride quality, very close to what it was stock. Went with the H&R Sports Had spacers, but had to hold off on install due to one of the bolts being wrong size. love the new look and feel.... Before After Last edited by Socal_R8; 07-30-2022 at 03:43 PM.. |

To be honest, I think you're a bees dick too low at the rear.

Continuing the trend of every car ever invented looks better lower.
Nice! |

I think it looks fantastic, but as OCD as I am I'd probably have to lower the front just a bit (from the pix), and I'd do that with front negative camber.
Haven't seen it from the side to see if it needs spacers or not. The wheels are elegant, like the car, but too casual for me. If it were mine I'd be trying to figure out how to get some GT3RS reps because I love that fan look. Looks fantastic as-is though, really great color as well. |

Will def look better with spacers, hopefully you wont get any rubbing.
For reference, here is mine lowered on Eibach springs and 7mm spacers which are a little more conservative. |

That’s about double of what the GTS suspension drop is which is 20mm over stock suspension. Not saying you did the wrong thing, just offering for comparison. I think it looks nice. What I appreciate about my GTS is while it’s not slammed, it doesn’t break my back and inspires confidence in turns.
