Lowered on Spoon springs, 275/35/18 Continental ECS 02.
This is the spec; I set my suspension on comfort and the drive feel is perfect.
no harshness at all, between the Contis, the Spoon springs, smaller wheels, 35 series tires, the CTR feels like a mature sports car that can do it all perfectly.
For stock ride quality and a drop enough to minimize the fender tire gap, Spoon.
Eibach Pro kit offers a very similar drop and ride quality.
I went with Spoon after driving my friend’s CTR on his.
Initially I was set on Eibach Sportline, but that is a very aggressive drop for a daily driver...
I stand corrected; I have another neighbor within a 5 minute walk from me that has a DE5.
So in my small area count 3 CTRs ( 1 Fk8, 2 FL5s), and a Type S.
South Florida is certainly a hotbed for great performance cars.
Facebook groups aren’t the most knowledgeable, for a good understanding of offsets and different wheel sizes, browse the Wheel fitment thread.
I did; and I learnt amount of info from there.
The more you research into this, the clearer your answers become.
Also; don’t downgrade to an 8.5 in...
I have a question for the experts.
I recently saw an FL5 for sale and his wheel n tire set up is as follows.
18x9.5 +22 TE37s running 275/35/18 Falken Azenis
Lowered on Eibach Sportlines.
Can this set up be replicated on another wheel, same specs, with a less aggressive lowering spring...
