Just get ecs tuning spacers, 15mm front, 20mm rear. They come with the proper length bolts you need so you dont have to figure that out and they are fine with the VTF springs.

I can't order from ECS here in the UK without huge import taxes
Would 5mm in the front and 15mm in the rear lowered be a good setup? Would it work without being lowered too?
For reference, here is my sedan on VTFs at roughly the mid point adjustment front and back. We dropped it all the way to see how low they go and the quoted 2" max lower is very conservative, they go about -3" or so is my guess. 10mm spacer up front with 19's and no spacer in back.
Guys I have the H&R Sport Springs in my sedan and I do not have the rear rake yet. Do you guys think I got one from revised batch or it just needs more time? I have had them for 3 months now.
Also I should note, that in the last 3 months, I did not load up my rear at all. As in no passengers in the rear seats.
If you have the sedan with no negative rake, you are lucky as mine was terrible. I couldn't take it so I put the OEM springs back in the rear until my VTFs came in. Maybe you got lucky somehow, mine was awful.

Well that is good news, hoping to pick up a used set
What I was wondering about was if I will get the rear rake eventually at one point as I start to load my rear end?
Did you guys have the rear rake from the beginning? Like did you see the rake right after install?
Like I said, ever since I got the springs, I did not have anyone sit in the rear seat. So it has not been loaded yet.
this has no effect on the suspension. suspension does a natural settle within the first 2 weeks or ~500 miles. Then it will pretty much stay the same until the components literally start to degrade (which takes years).
I think the fact that you don't have negative reverse rake might have to do with the install procedure or the specific options your car has.

The same installer did another C43 I know and he has the same options as me, but he has the rear rake.
Very nice. Were those settings straight from the box or you need to do some adjustment on the springs for front and rear. Do you have any idea, what is the drop for front and rear with the springs straight from the box.
Sorry for the lighting, sun was going down.
I had the h&r springs for the sedan and wasn't happy with the stance, too low in the rear. Bought the VTF adjustables and installed them today. So much better, I would say perfect now, I'm extremely happy with these.

Looks great! May I ask what the tire #s are? they look like a little stretch but not too much
They are the stock ones 225/40/19 front, 255/35/19 rear. The wheels are 8.5 wide which means front has slight stretch but I used to run a narrow 235 up front which looked alot more stretch than these do. No stretch at all in the rear of course.
