Well since I hardly go to other site anymore I thought I post some reviews of some spring stuff added to my G8.
I added the Spohn LCA and rear toe links along with BMR sub frame and rear control arms. Lastly also added the ACC stainless hood liner.
First the Spohn LCA are awesome and very nice workmanship from Spohn. With the Spohn and Pedders set up thing really handles nice.. Hardly any spin taking off though I not making nearly the HP I want to..yet
BMR subframes seemed to really make the whole suspension really solid now..I have a sunroof on my G8 so I have noticed some difference with BMR stuff. But note for all the 09.5 G8 you will have to make the hole in frame larger to fit rear bracket in place.
ACC hood liner is very nicely done by them, but fitment wasn't perfect. Where they drilled a hole in liner to attach liner to hood was off a little. The hole they drilled lined up with a big hole in lower hood..not good. I had make a metal bracket to fix problem. Also it clears Pedders strut bar fine but rubs on a Vararam..So I am working on some Red fiber cloth protectors to put on my Vararam to keep it from scratching ACC liner..Lastly stock liner a pain getting off!!!
Here some pictures...

I have not had the chance to install my subframe connectors yet. Cannot wait to get my bonu$ looks like suspension mods are definitely proving its worth.

That is very nice. I can't belive I missed this the first time around. I like the GXP diffuser painted to match. As mentioned above, we all need to step up are game. That engine bay is excellent.

jimmytt6... very nice! Your car is so nice that all your posts can be placed in the Appearance Section! ;) I'm placing an order for some Spohn goodies this week to help me with traction (or lack there of). Magnacharger should include a disclosure with their kits re: 110% loss of traction :)

That's too bad... :(. Spohn claims 18" wheels + are ok... thanks for the heads up. We probably have identical offsets also so I would have the same problem.

That's a whole lotta red on that car. Looks great!


And I don't think Charlie will be waxing poetic about anything, so you may be right on the "waxing something" Devilish... :)

Problem is the inside lip of CCW's 10.5" rims is only about 1/2" away from LCA. If your driving hard around turns and hit a bump I noticed it rubbing..I'll take a pic while putting some Stainless Steel brake lines on this week.

I hope it didn't ruin those gorgeous SP500s!
