Dareckibmw's Genesis 5.0 - fastest color [Official Thread]

[dareckibmw]

I saw the pic and thought I should lower it for him, then I realized that it was you and thought this is Derek, he can do it himself

Haha, you're late to the party, but thanks for the offer, though

btw. My schedule at work has been changed and I may have an opportunity to have this job done on Friday

Could you take an under car shot of the rear mufflers if you get the chance?

 

[dareckibmw]

I will if they let me.

 

[Alwaysforward]

Don't forget to update your signature pic when that thing rolls out of the garage dareckibmw

Clean! No more wheel gap! Liking the concave man! Time for some canyon runs!

Heh....I'm little bit disappointed with the drop in front - ARK claims "Front: Approx. 1.2" Lower" .... but it actually is 1.75! well, .5 inch it's a lot, I say.

I'll contact them after long weekend and see what their defense is going to be. I wish they would have other springs with less drop, that would fit my car.

Rear drop, which is 1.25 is perfect, though.

Is the front drop too aggressive? Mine sits pretty flush...but it can rub if you turn the wheel too hard on an incline.

Beautiful color, and the wheels definitely compliment the car!

Yes, a little too aggressive for my taste, but I think I'll get use to it.

If it wasn't that low, only as they stated, it probably wouldn't rub.

@jgs1564

Thanks!

Just came back from a mini photo-shoot. I'll post some killer shots later, stay tuned, you won't be disappointed. I might even make a new thread for it

I went to the dealer to check up on my 5.0, switched the loaner too....then I noticed this

 

[Aquineas]

Meh, once you've got a lowered Genesis, the stock editions just don't cut it anymore.

Hehe, that's true, but I like how AWD takes the corners and on/off ramps at 80mph+

They want me to come back tomorrow morning and talk to them, they might cut me a sweet deal and I wouldn't have to wait another week or more to get my 5.0 fixed.

Not trying to talk you out of it, because if you bought that one, you'd finally be getting the fastest color

But keep in mind, if you want handling, the G70 will be here very soon. And I'm guessing (no evidence, just a guess) the next generation G80 will be here in 2020. Your salesperson is going to hate me.
