I'm not sure. I would imagine so. I would recommended adjustable end links for anything lower.

Thank you for all your help. I ordered one for our shop car and will be present at Mpact East incase anyone wants to get a feel for it in person. Kudos to OP.

I heard 9.5 unknown offset. Looked like et26-30 and 10.5 et 40. If you run a 285 or something I think a lower offset in the rear would be better.

The only reason it poked was because racecar 315 Hoosier Haha.

Its the super sports one?

Lowering is .8" equal all the way around. So I'll say these are the standard

Yeah just saw on their Website, and the springs you have(#28802-5) is SPORTS SPRINGS, not Super sports! ....and its a .80 drop all around!

Yep I included that in my later post. The super sports for the f80 start the same so I assumed. Excited to see the super sports

Is this with spacers or only the H&R lowering springs?

Only springs. I'll throw up some spacer pics. The ones I have are probably too large but it will help to find the limit. I have 4 20mm

Thanks.

I must say I like the above pic very much, no spacers needed IMHO !

If you don't want them to poke you will have to settle with around 5mm or something like that. For a more aggressive stance with a bit of poke you can probably go with 12-15mm (like the BBS FI-R on Detaildomain's car) without issues on a lowered car.

The rear is almost perfect when lowered, the front is a bit in need of a spacer but not much.

Yeah for a more aggressive fitment 10mm and 15mm will be pretty perfect with a little bit of camber. I'm just doing 10's and 11's. Center lock conversion and dp3r's. That will end the struggle swiftly lol

@ashburyn54 would it be possible to take a picture side on with the factory rims on?

What offsets are you going to be running in front with the 10" wheels? WHat size tire? Will a 285/30 fit on front with 10"?

I mean I'm not running a 285 in the front. I wouldn't be comfortable saying yes to that. If it runs small I think it would work. It would have to be a high offset but you would have to check strut clearance.

Anything is possible. With some camber plates and stiff coils I could see it happening.

The 265/35 were on conservative specs. 9.5" et 29ish. I'll be going to a 10" at a et30ish with some camber.
