Hi,

Anyone have pics of M7 or H-Sports springs and 16" wheels? I've searched most of this forum without luck.

Thanks!

My MCS has H-Sports and 16" X-Lites.

Wow, it looks lower than I thought. How do you like the springs so far?

 

This car came with the springs installed...so it's the only way I've ever driven it. I did take a 45 minute test drive in a n'02 S. Other then being lower, it's pretty much the same. Very similar (aka excellent) driving dynamics, stiff on the rough stuff, but pretty much the same as the '02. I've never driven the newer "softer" suspension.

It WILL bottom out the nose (usually just the little plastic chin spoiler that points straight down) on steep parking lot entrances.

There is another S in the parking lot at work....the difference in height is noticable....but pretty close to the 3/4" (IIRC) or so that they claim.

Here's a pic I snapped when I got home from installing the springs. The way the sun is hitting the car, it looks like it's lower in the back, but it's really not, it's an even drop front and rear. It's not all that great of a picture, I'll snap some more today. Thing is, I put 17's on the car since then, so it won't be exactly the same, but it'll be close :smile:

 

I have 16's and H-Sports. Hope this helps.

 

Ok, I got some pics taken, but I have 17's on the car now. The wheel gap will be very similar, being that there is only a very small difference, probably un-noticeable in diameter between the two setups that I had. (16's with 205/50/16 vs. 17's with 215/40/17's pictured)..

Since I don't have any one picture that's real good... I'll give you a few...
