    Free Lowering with factory setting VS. GRP lowering kit

    Totally agree....isn't that the primary goal? Why use non hubcentric and be subservient to human error. Non hubcentric tend to cause vibration over time, usually at higher speeds at a higher percentage than hubcentric. By the way, road forces absolutely effect torque specs over a given...

    Free Lowering with factory setting VS. GRP lowering kit

    If no other options, I guess, however just a matter of time before road forces impact that balance. I've had great success with future classics on both porsche and BMW. I will give GRP a try, just wish they had a 10 or 15....

    I4 Delivery Date USA/Canada Updates

    Just received text from Naples that Lotus will not deliver from port until next week....hopefully a bit of weather reprieve during that time.

    Free Lowering with factory setting VS. GRP lowering kit

    Of course proper wheel installation, proper road force balance and torque applications are important but I would assume that's a given. Spacer manufacturing including material used, machine process, hubcentricity, slip-on vs bolt, install prep of said spacer have just as much impact on what...

    Free Lowering with factory setting VS. GRP lowering kit

    Ride quality refers to handling, dampening rebound, etc....vibration refers to what driver feels at wheel or seat of pants. Maybe we let the driver who actually made the modifications answer the question (if he chooses)?😀

    i4 dct slow gear shifting

    I see you're from Germany? European cars have 360hp and no DCT re calibration as of your build. CEO of Lotus North America was adamant about US cars getting 400hp and DCT tune.

    High delivery mileage on new order.

    Sorry for your disappointment but I am curious. With an 8 month window from order to delivery, that couldn't have been a new order. Am I correct in assuming that you tasked the dealership to find your spec in open market, regardless of previous title or demo miles? I find it hard to believe...

    Lotus Emira Key Fob cases - initial run

    Just ordered the black leather w/yellow stitch....wanted Alcantara as that's my spec, just concerned about the lint and wear. States 3-17 days to the US. Do you have a more narrow window? Thanks for a necessary, super cool product

    Since this is an I4 thread, somebody may have come across the answer to this question: do we know the weight distribution for I4? I believe the V6 is 68/32.

    Lowering question for GRP (and any others)

    I don't think I phrased my question well enough. I'm curious if the oem system can be lowered without going to the aftermarket? I believe I read there's up to 10mm of adjustment there.

    Lowering question for GRP (and any others)

    Do we know how low we can set the oem springs? Also, I tend to stay away from front spacers as any slight vibration at the wheel and I'll lose my mind. Any vibes from grp?

    Dealer said I4 was CARB approved.

    Yes, thank you for that! Naples Lotus are expecting I4s to hit 12/15 or so. My salesman drove the demo and said it was "brutal" in a good way. What I don't understand on that carb cert is that both the turbo and turbo se have been approved for the states. With the turbo being dialed up to...
