Seems I cannot PM anyone in this forum. Wonder why.

But AndyVTForged can you PM me? Or somehow connect?

I'd like to figure out some details on wheels. Thanks!

Tried sending you a message and seems like you can’t receive messages either. You can reach Andy through his website (if he is not able to message you via this site).

Thanks for trying that direction as well. Helps confirm it's not just me "not seeing it". LOL

Thanks for the thought...I have 0 messages though. I've never been able to find the PM link where it's supposed to be, and only saw an option to create a signature for about a day or so. Since then, it's gone away never to have shown up again.

Not sure if there's a reason some people have no access to some of those seemingly normal features, but I've never been able to figure that part out.

If anyone has any other thoughts, I'm all ears!

KW HAS rear wheels are 21” fronts 20” not a fan of the KW personally will be removing for a more complete set up.

tylerdurdem · 04-05-2024, 07:55 AM

What don't you like about the KW setup?

For context my use case which is mostly high speed stuff on elevated highways I find the undulation terrible after fitting them. If I hit a joint the car bounces hard even the Mrs looks at me with that side eye and she’s used to my driving. I reduced the height further in order to try and resolve it and it didnt help other than to make the comfort mode firmer. Sport chassis helps but still far from what I expect and a down grade from stock.

I’m not a suspension expert but imo either they are not matched well to the shocks or the oem dampers don’t like bieng lowered beyond a certain point. I’m leaning towards the later given the oem ride height.

In conclusion as it always has been if your gonna lower it and still drive it hard just get some KW V3 or Ohlins R/T etc, the springs are a compromise. Just one idiots opinion.

tylerdurdem · 04-06-2024, 09:15 AM

Yeah, I had initially thought about doing just some springs or HAS until I go full coilover, but I'm pretty sure I'm just going to go straight to something like an MCS. Buy once, cry once, right?

Ronin76 · 04-09-2024, 05:42 AM

Hi All,

Is it possible to see some G87 lowered the 10mm that is set at the port with the MP HAS kit with with after market wheels (with offsets) or with OEM wheels with spacers? Want to get an idea of what offsets I need to get for any after market wheels I purchase. I know many in this thread have lowered all the way but I am not sure if I want to go that low.

Many Thanks!

Are you using any spacers? This is the height I want but trying to decide what would be the best offset for aftermarket wheels.

MP HAS at the port installed height on oem with 12mm spacers all around. This is much more conservative than the SLAs though that should be here soon.

Thank you! That last shot looks nice. For the SLAs did you go with +11 fronts and +8 rears?

Correct. Went with 19x10 +11 Front and 20x11 +8 Rear. So will be sitting more flush at that point and can decide if needing to drop the HAS down further. Keeping the same PS4S until they are done, then likely going something like 285/35 in front and 305/30 in the rear, though still determining sizing on those.

If you could post once you have those installed I would appreciate it.
