Steeda ultralite input?

[tj@steeda]

I love this Steeda 3/8" spacer. Super easy to install, and great craftsmanship of the part. My findings are as follows:

[Steeda 3/8" spacer results]
Measurement : PP / M350 / M350+3/8" spacer
Front PP Splitter: 5.5" / 5.125" / 4.875"
Fender Arch: 27" / 26.75" / 26.625"
Quarter Arch: 27.125" / 26.5" / 27"
Jacking Rail front: 3.625" / 3.25" / 3.375"
Jacking Rail rear: 3.875" / 3.5" / 3.625"

PP = 255/40/19, 275/40/19
M350 = 295/30/19, 325/30/19

9.5mm spacer above rear spring lowered front splitter 6.35mm, and raised the rear 12.7mm

This is the spacer. I installed it above the pad isolator. Super easy because the Ultralites are short.

And quick comparison shot between stock tire sizes and 325/295 tires.

Money well spent.

Slightly better lit. Excuse the iPhones 7 Plus pictures.

Your car is a bit higher in the front then mine with the same springs.
[MENTION=7748]tj@steeda[/MENTION] did y'all change the front at all to lower it when you updated the rear spring height? Just curious. I also run Maximum motorsports camber plates which could explain it. But still.

[MENTION=17026]Digital_Synapse[/MENTION] - Did you shoot those pics with a Tilt/Shift? Or did you add some blur in PS?

It's not higher in the front, I'm just running really short tires. 295/30/19 are 26" tall

Going to put a set of rear PP wheels on the front for now and run a square 275 setup. It should fill the rest of the tiny bit of front gap I have. Very very happy with the look, ride, quality, and handling already. This is with 1" spacers and these are updated ultralites. Also I did the cradle lockouts and attempted to do the differential solid bushings. Royally failed due to an oversight/assumption on my car. Working with Steeda to get it corrected.

@tj@steeda , @SteedaTech ,

Would you guys please summarize why the rear spring length was increased 3/16" for the new updated version. Performance or cosmetic?

Cosmetic and additional tire clearance. Same spring rate,we still offer the earlier version. The spring is also good for adjustability in corner weight or rear weight transfer for the road racers or the handling enthusiast. The higher the rear the more weight we transfer to the front wheels.

I finally got to his a twisty road near my house that I have driven hard countless times due to their hardly ever being traffic on it. All I can say is wow! I've never had springs alone make such a big difference in how the car handles. There is one section where I always feel right at the edge at around 40mph, and this time through it, the car felt like it was on rails. Thanks to the WVDOT it is a negative camber corner, and always gets my blood pressure up. Only other suspension mods are in my sig. Just bushings and what not.

[MENTION=25806]SteedaTech[/MENTION] how much change in alignment settings will adding these spacers impact my rear alignment? A lot? Just a tiny bit?
