Good idea. I'll try that. Thanks.

Does anyone know if there are any front struts available without the spring perches? I have been struggling for years trying to get my S550 lowered properly in a fashion where the left and right are even and the front is just a tad lower than the back. After struggling with one particular brand...

My baby got new wheels & tires from Discount Tire yesterday: König Ampliforms (black) 19x9.5, 35 offset Continental Extreme Contact Sports 265mm 40 R19 Very happy so far.

Oh man, that was so long ago. I want to say that the subframe was still dropped low enough that I was able to get around it. I'm 90% sure that was it. If you're having the same problem, please take your time and go slowly. Might not be a bad idea to use some cutting fluid if you can get it in...

1. I am leery of purchasing another set of springs and getting into the same situation. 2. I would like to have control over my ride height and adjust it to my liking both front and rear. 3. I would like to have at have at least some rudimentary control over damping. Thanks for the info. I...

Hey everyone, I have had a set of progressive lowering springs on my car for the last 3 years. I've never been able to get the ride height correct (left side is great, but right front is significantly higher than the left front and right rear). The ride is acceptable, but definitely on the stiff...

Good to know. I'm tentatively planning a square setup with 19X9.5" rims, +30 offset, 265/40 tires. I figured the offset should negate the extra width. Only reason I was really concerned is that I'm lowered about 1.2", but it sounds like I'll be fine. Thanks for the info.

This looks awesome. I'm considering buying these same wheels (9.5" wide Ampliforms). Any problems with clearance or rubbing on the fronts due to the wider tires & wheels?

Interesting. Based on the lower capacity compared to Li-ion batteries it sounds like supercaps won't be replacing them anytime soon as a primary storage medium. But it sounds like they would be a great choice to augment them, by shunting all regen energy into and out of them.

If you want to pretend that EV concepts aren't useful, that's certainly your prerogative. But like it or not gas engines are on the way out (as they should be), although the transition will probably take much longer than it should especially in the U.S. Anecdotal, but I'm Gen X and I would...

Nice. Thanks for the info!

I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the clarification.
