It's really a shame that the G87 has the monstertruck wheel gap. Seems like everyone is sacrificing performance and slapping on lowering springs, which is understandable. Sucks that you have to go with coilovers if you want to have a proper stance though without screwing up the handling. Seems like this car proved that the other one he drove was basically ruined by the owner, at least ruined as a Ring car, which was probably not the focus. I think shops like this are going to get a ton of performance out of this platform, excited to see what they can do. Been following Jackie Ding closely, would kill to see his car on the Ring. He's building an absolute weapon.

I wish he'd tell us more about what lowering springs were used.
I did order the port installed MP HAS (made by KW). I'm hoping it actually provides a slight track improvement and not a negative. At least most of the tracks I'd be driving at are less bumpy than the N'ring. I hope I didn't make a mistake. P.S. Also not sure why he doesn't play with the settings during such a long lap - he could have easily switched the suspension from sport to sport+ or comfort to try it out.

that's a busy day on the track (maybe normal) but it gives me anxiety watching that, one slip and yikes..

When my car arrives, I should have a good basis of comparison on his the MP has handles. That is assuming my car gets here before I forget how the stock ride felt.

I think the Eibach springs really sit where it should have come from the factory |

I thought it would bother me, but after a couple days I stopped noticing it. Not a single person has ever asked me about it. They DO ask me about modding in a splitter and spoiler, or adding tint. But not the gap. |

I have one of those miatas and the gap is insane. Plus the suspension is so soft that I worry about scratching my door handles when in corners! It's hard to say why they gave the M2 so much gap when previous M-cars did not have it....but there is likely a decent explanation. I have the HAS, and it does seem to be approx. where previous M's used to sit. I'll comment after I pick the M2 up this week. |
