LOL Yep that was me in the Melbourne Red. Unless they are talking about the Mineral Grey I saw there but it didn't look like he was going on track.

Just got H&R springs fitted yesterday,from the drive home from the shop it seemed to ride nice in comfort and sport mode,feels the same but less roll and steering feels more direct and looks good
Its the wifes car during the week,so will have to drive it some more on the weekend....if i ask her what its like,she will say "whatever"
Have BMS spacers in transit,so looking forward to a wider stance too !

It really is! lol I remember seeing pics of yours a while back and thinking the same thing. It's going to get worse.............I'm also adding the side decals and diffuser. But at least the diffuser will be a different one.

Did you all need alignments after the spring install?

Absolutely agree that an alignment after messing with the cars geometry is justified.. however, I was wondering if any of you had a significant pull in between doing the springs and getting an alignment done?

You normally get it all done at once,which I did,so didn't drive the car in between getting the springs done and an alignment.

I've lowered 4 cars with springs and all 4 times I've got it aligned after it settled. However, the specs from all 4 times were within manufacture toe suggestion. Camber was a bit more negative but that happens when lowering the car anyway

Yeah, so while I was totally planning on the alignment (1 week after install) I did not really expect to 'feel' the car acting out of spec as bad as it is. I've done spring installs on numerous other cars and I had never felt a pull afterwards and before the alignment. Makes me think I messed up somewhere..!
