Lowered Y with Geminis w/no caps

[Demented_Y]

Lowered the Y with Unplugged Performance moderate springs. Might add spacers or just finally make up my mind on rims.

Thanks for the photos.
Can you measure from the ground to the fender both front and rear and again in 500 miles. Curious if it'll settle and drop further.

Keep us posted on ride quality as well as performance... Very interested.

How’s the ride quality? More comfortable than stock?

Will do!

Suspension feels the same during normal driving. I haven’t been able to test out the performance on them yet because it’s actually raining in San Diego. They should reduce some body roll. The mild drop springs I hear might be softer.

How's alignment with the springs?

I haven’t got an alignment yet. It has a little negative camber. I’ll eventually get one.

Well done!

Well done!

Touché! Much better lowered. I added 15/20 mm spacers for the time being. I think the PUP can’t fit the 15mm without modification.

Looks great! I am also considering lowering with UP moderate springs and want to see what they look like on my LR. Mine happens to also be white color so your post provides awesome perspective. Have you done the alignment yet? Were they able to get the camber corrected? I know they are still settling, but how many inch drop would you say it is on the front and rear? Thx for your post and pics!

Can you provide more details on the spacers? What does the spacers do and why I might need them. I am thinking about lowering my PUP+ DIY install.

Haven’t done an alignment yet. Not many cars have adjustable camber, stock. UPP and MPP have rear camber arms for $400 and front a arms for well over $1000!! Not cheap at all. Alignment shops can get your toe back into spec which is more important. I didn’t measure the height before I lowered it but it really is just a moderate drop. If you need any measurements let me know.

Spacers for the most part are for aesthetic purposes to get your wheels flush to the fender. Nobody likes the look of a sunken battleship! Spacers also can be used on a high offset wheel that might hit suspension components.

I hear you on the crazy pricing on camber kits from UP and MPP..... that is a concern of mine. If u don't mind measuring from the ground to the bottom of the black plastic arch trim. With this measurement we can get an idea how much it dropped.

Here are some pics to give some idea on the stock height of the LR. Shot taken straight on is the front and the shot at an angle is the rear.

 

[Demented_Y]

Top is the front and the bottom is the rear. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much! Pls let us know on the negative camber when u get it aligned. Curious to know if the negative camber is on the rear only or both front and rear.

Updates on the drop and if it’s settled further thus far please?
