Figured I would chime in here...I am 6'8", 275lbs, 40" waist. I have plenty of room in all dimensions, and the seats are very comfortable. I feel the bolsters at all times, but it is never uncomfortable.

Handling is fine , and looks good too.

The H&R sport springs? Looks great but my M2C never got nearly that low!

Oh sorry ok. I don't want to post here as I have Eibachs and don't want to confuse anyone looking for HR.

Do a quick search of my posts. I whored myself out pretty good after last weekends pics. I'm a proud papa for sure.

Or follow me on IG ptgltw I have a few pics there also. Only one not so good one of the M2C and none of the M2C here. I also had different spacers on that car so I think that could be why I thought the M2C was lower. As the sidewall was closer to the fender.

Here are some pics. Both stock.

Yes. That's why the car needs lowering.

Your seems quite a bit higher than mine. Optical illusion?

I swear the car feels like it has more suspension travel though and one of the reason it handles better.

Also. Oh look. Wow. The new 1000hp Ferrari isn't slammed. It has a higher clearance than your M2cs. 😀

Maybe they are also concerned about handling?

I wonder if people are going to lower this car too when they buy it?

Maybe it will lower a little as I drive it. Who knows ?

It seems yours is more "down to earth" than some others' lol

The car on the left doesn't have the plastic protector, which makes the gap look smaller... hey, at least the wheel well gap doesn't look like the G80/82, I'd be compelled to lower the car with that space 🙁, another $3300 for the BMW HAS when it's available..

Ferrari people don't modify their cars. They barely even drive them. And yes it looks aweful. I do like the looks of the Challenge cars thou.

Have you recently had it jacked up? Always takes a while to settle.

No, but it was relatively new from dealer.

Good choice, I just installed the H&R sport springs on my M2C and went with 7.5mm in back and 5mm in the front, and now I'm regretting not doing 5mm all around as the 5mm seems more flush with the fender.

I’m hoping the parts arrived and will be installed this week. I’ll post photos when complete.

H&R springs and 5mm wheel spacers all around were just installed. Very happy with the results.

Looks great! Definitely lower than the Eibach Pro Kit

Springs will settle over time, that likely explains the difference. Will look great down even lower!

Any rubbing at all? On full steering wheel lock?

How is the ride? And bottoming out or rubbing on bigger bumps?

I like a firm ride.

I haven't driven it yet. The car was just collected at the dealership and had the springs and spacers installed. Hopefully the roads clear up soon.

I'm not concerned with ride quality or rubbing based on the experiences I've read about so far. Also, I'll have no baseline since I never drove the car with the stock setup.
