Do you know what options are currently available for the G80/2? Last I checked it was pretty limited. I don't think I saw any springs but would also consider them if they were from a reputable brand with the proper spring rates and ride height. I've always liked the Dinan springs, they also offer shorter bump stops which is a must if you're lowering the car.

I am glad I am getting my car later. I can wait for you more experienced guys to get this work done and then just copy what you guys do

HAS kit for sure with spacers. Either after market or just will get the MP HAS before I even take delivery. I am currently on MSS without any issues.

How much does that usually run as far as cost goes. Do you have to make any changes when swapping out summer tires and wheels for a winter tire and wheel setup? Sorry never done any of this before so rather new at this.

HAS kits should not take more then 3-4hrs. If they are quoting higher then that find a new shop. I did my front DIY, took me about 2hrs for the front. But rears I didn't have enough room to loosen one bolt, so took it to shop paid $120. I am not running winter wheels but don't think you need any sort of adjustments with wheels. Alignment is recommended after the springs are settled. If you go with MP, all this will be done either at the dealership or VPC before you take delivery.

Thank you for all the info. Yeah, I worry about the warranty (was just googling it) so I think I may get the M Performance set up and have them do it prior to delivery. Thanks again!

Lowering the car will not void warranty.

Thanks, good to know…definitely showing my ignorance on this subject.

No worries. That's what the forum is for.
