S650 Lowering (Springs / Coils discussion thread)

[LexAddict]

I have a Darkhorse on order with a build date of 7/20. I am wondering if anyone knows if the Darkhorse is lower (has lower springs, etc) than the regular 2024 GT? FWIW I got the 700A eqpt group, the Darkhorse handling package, and the Dark Horse appearance package if that makes a difference. Do we know anything about the height of the cars versus each other yet? I asked my dealership and even another more performance oriented dealership and they didn't know. I DONT want it slammed but from what I can see I think the DH may be a little high for my liking. Any insights? For whatever it's worth here's a shot from CJPony's site.

Steeda posted this thread but no info yet.
I'm betting like the rest of us they are waiting to get their hands on production cars before commenting much on what will work.

Seen many a prototype in the area since October. HP DH definitely seems to sit a little lower than any of the other offerings for 2024, not too sure about non HP. Now if that's down to modified/different springs or the handling pack ground effects, I can't answer - I'm not knowledgeable enough in that regard.

If you're looking to get coilovers, like Mcky said it's probably best to wait until more info drops or for when the car is released.

won't using lowering springs throw off magneride tuning?

Correct, It’d need to be retuned.

Steeda shows springs, but don't respond to questions.

Still no clear answer regarding the DH springs with and without HP? Are they the same or not? Has anyone managed to obtain the references?
