827M wheels look great on that car but I cannot believe that wheel gap! Do H&R make multiple springs for the G87?

AFAIK they make 2, the normal and the HAS spring. Those are the normal springs, but also on the first day of install, they will probably settle a bit.

Here is the link to our Evolve G87 Lowering Springs - https://www.evolveautomotive.co.uk/p...g&_ss=e&_v=1.0

and a few more pictures of our stance kit which adds 15/12 spacers along with our springs:

Fantastic thread as I am also looking for some non - HAS springs.
Apart from the reduced ride height can anyone suggest one that is an improvement for handeling?
Not the at the M2 needs it in my view but if I am going to replace springs for looks, then I might as well choose one that improves handeling as well.
Any recommendations?

Same question here. Would like stiffer springs for better performance and just a small drop. Deciding between Eibach and H&R.

Looking for 1” drop in the rear and 1.2” or so in the front. AST seems to fit the bill but I’m curious with its ride quality and noise.

I came from a Tesla on Unplugged springs and those creaks like no other when steering.

Trying to do some homework as well as I just recently put my order in. The H&R’s were looking like the winner until I saw this one with the Eibach’s!! This looks like a winner.

I was originally keen on Eibach springs, but they are half the drop of the H&R's and I'm concerned it wont look low enough as I'm going 19 inch wheels front/back.
Think I'm going to stick to my guns and go H&R.

EAS intalled my Eibachs here in S.Cali they are a vendor on this board. I paid $400.00. I definitely recommend an alignment after the install. Give it a week or so before the alignment.

Just an FYI, my alignment was pretty much spot on after the install. Only the toe was a little off.

Its the overall tire diameter that is going to dictate the wheel gap. If you run 285/35/19s the gap will almost be the same as a 285/30/20.

With the OEM shocks I didn't want to drop it too much as it will knock the valving of the OEM shocks out of their range.

Yes, you are correct as the overall diameter of the two are nearly the same.
However, if I'm going to spend the money on lowering the car, I do want it to be a noticeable drop. I think the H&R's achieve this better than the Eibach springs (I believe the Eibach's are 15mm, whereby the H&R's are 30mm).
