Thanks so much for everyone who answered in my other thread with advice. I ended up doing the H&R springs, 12mm spacers all around and stuck with the original 13mm spring pads in the rear. Now I gotta send the one set of 10mm spacers and the 17mm spring pads back lol! Of course it's raining when I got home but here's a quick snap I took before getting out of the rain. Currently waiting for my mygenius to finish flashing my V5 tune and anxiously awaiting the rain to stop to go flog on it!! The 6.2L twins lol....

Looks great! Contemplating doing the same. Can you take a couple closeup pics of the fronts/rears?

Yep once the rain stops I'll get some better pics all around. Glad I ended up doing the 12s all around, it sits exactly like I wanted and doesn't rub at all, even at full lock and over speed humps with me +2 people in there.

And here's a quick little clip of the exhaust in my garage, sounds so awesome!

Glad to hear u are not rubbing with 12mm spacers in the rear. The 507 might be built a little different than a Pre-FL car as mine would rub for sure.

Well I figured since I already had the 12s and had it up on the lift we'd just stick the 12s on and drive it around town once and see what happened. No issues so I just stuck with them!

Looking good! You may want to hang onto the 10's for a bit bc the springs will settle a little, which may or may not cause rubbing.

Here ya go...

Looks and sounds great.

looks good, do you get steering wheel shimmy?

Looks good

1) How is the ride compared to stock?

2) Have you driven through any big dips in the road to make sure there is no rubbing during full suspension travel?

3) Did you get a 4 wheel alignment after installing the springs?

Thanks

1. Honestly it's very similar. Going over speed humps you can tell it's a little stiffer but in day to day normal driving it's pretty much unnoticeable (gf agrees so that's my control lol)

2. I've hit, run over, stomped on gas and brake at full lock, etc everything I can think of and haven't been able to make it rub with me and a passenger in the car. Honestly I don't think it's going to rub on anything.

3. I didn't. We were going to but it was getting later in the day and opted against it. We did it at my friend's shop and this is the same set up (H&R springs/spacers) I've put on my last 4 cars and none of them had alignment issues afterwards. The first one (AM DB9) we aligned afterwards (and the machine made no adjustment lol) and the last three (the e92 M3, GT-R, GranTurismo) we haven't. I put about 120 miles on it since finishing up and it still tracks as true as beforehand, no speed shimmy in the wheel or anything so I'm not going to bother unless I notice anything out of the norm. I know it's conventional knowledge to always do it after suspension work but having his shop literally right down the street and pretty much open access to it I've been a little lax on doing it immediately and would just take it over if I needed to.

boosting1bar,

Thanks for the informative reply

That is good to know since I have been thinking of doing the same thing on my 507. I will have to save this information for future reference

Take care.

Same here...much appreciated. I have 2 sets of 12mm spacers I've been waiting to put on. Was curious if 12mm would be too much.

Again, car looks great!
