MPerformance Coilovers - Before and After Pics (10mm spacers)

Wanted to share before and after photos since they may be useful for anyone looking for comparison. If anyone needs higher res photos or other questions, feel free to DM me.

There is more room to play in the front, but I left it as shown.
I didnt have a chance to take after photos in the same location.
Car driven for 1 week at time of the "after" photos.

Hope this helps!


Current set up as follows

-Before photos
Stock suspension, 620mm height all around.

-After photos
Front, height is about ~599mm when measured WITHOUT passengers.
Rear, max low setting
10mm spacers all around


Copy/pasting from another thread for reference:

"On the stock suspension that measurement is supposed to be 620 mm all around
On MP Coilovers it's supposed to be 595 mm in the front and 600 mm in rear when just installed (full tank)"


Before










After

Is it possible to run MPS at stock height? I forget if this was asked elsewhere. I like the idea but I really don't need my car any lower. Maybe 10mm at most.

I don’t see why not. Just need to make adjustments to hit the stock height of 620mm all around.

It’s a little stiffer than stock, which is what it says it would do. I don’t mind the ride, so I left the pre-set settings.
Drives great!

Stock is 620 or 625? I don't know why in my mind I'm thinking it's 625. You said you measured it before swapping out the coils?

I'm on kw has and I measured the OEM wheels it's 600 all the way around but I feel like yours looks more aggressive. OEM tires on 763 and 255/275 35 winters on the vmr. I also measured like you from the bottom lip of the wheel up to the fender. I have no spacers. Honestly though I wouldn't want to go any lower especially with the front lip.

Yeah it’s 620mm stock. I agree, I don’t think I would go much lower than what I have.

The height on your pictures with the 763s looks off to me. It looks almost higher than stock. I had an install error when we first installed the coils, and the height was higher than stock. Maybe it’s the angle of the picture?

Okay thanks for clarifying the stock height and yeah I agree with you it just looks off in the picture. I think it's the angles I shot it at that's why but it's definitely 600 when I measured all 4 myself with no one in the car. Plus there's some shadowing and the tires were just shined so it gives a little optical illusion
