LOWERING" Anyone Notice The Odd Stance On Most Lowered S550's

[ALLKHEINZ]

So out of the three cars you chose, the only one that has aftermarket springs is the Yellow car. The top two have factory ride height. With that being said, I do see what you are saying in regards to the front gap being slightly larger. Wheel and tire combo will have a lot to do with that as well. Also I'm sure a lot of these pics were taken before the springs really settled.......
Here's an example of a good stance as you speak of:

There is no coil over kit available as of yet for these cars, so not sure where you've seen one.

Cortex has theirs out all ready ....Ground Control coming soon and Vorshlag.

That kit isn't a Cortex kit. It's a JRI kit that Cortex sells. It's not '15 specific. A little work needs to be done to install

That picture is just freaking perfect and badass...I love the Steeda ride height. Going to order those for my '15.

Thanks bud! The car will have a completely different set up in a few weeks and look

What wheels are on the grey car in the first page?

 

[ALLKHEINZ]

my buddy went with sportlines up front and pro kit out back as mentioned....now the car sits the way it should. wheels are 19x9 front f14 with 255/40/19 tires and rears are 19x11 with 305/35/19 drag radials...perfect rake.

another shot this afternoon...

 

[ALLKHEINZ]

finger test shows the rake...1 finger fits tight up front and 2 fingers fit snug out back...

.1 finger fits tight up front and 2 fingers fit snug out back...

That's odd, it's usually the other way around. :rolling:

 

[ALLKHEINZ]

^^^your right...lol

I like that rake, but I don't care to buy almost $700 in springs only to have a set of fronts/rears that no one else will wants sitting in my garage. Also aren't those spring sets (pro-kit and sportline) both different spring rates meaning that the pro-kit is all one matching spring rate and the sportline kit is a different spring rate.. like a "kit" that all work together?

 

[ALLKHEINZ]

He didnt care about the cost or the different spring rates...he was interested in having the perfect stance and thats how he was able to achieve it...said he drove the car about 300 miles and says its perfect...

spring rates are generally not far off from one another...and rates change from how short or longer they are to compensate for it...having different rates front to rear is not something that is going to make you lose your life over...people are too paranoid about this...

Our "performance" spring kit will sit kinda similar to the Yellow 15 above.

I hope to have the pre-production test batch in, in about 3 weeks or so.

 

[burnin4]

^i will trade my first born for a set please.

 

[RSKtakR]

I'll just be more than happy to try out a set of the BMR "performance" springs lol. Guess I'll be holding off on springs now until these come out.

Eibach Sportlines 2.3 front and 1.7 rear. Loving it

Went from stock 19s to 20's.

Keep in mind most people are running a 35 profile rear, which looks bulbous on these cars for some reason, which visually throws the entire equation off.
