Are we assuming these cars out and about now are now production ride height? It's not terrible but it's not great either... or am I just used to seeing blue show car and my GT4 ride height/stance?
Tom mentioned these for the Evora. I’m sure there will be the same for the Emira. https://www.gregsraceparts.com/products/evora-suspension-lowering-cups-by-boeIt isn’t high for a touring setup but IMHO a sport setup should be at least 20mm lower. Also hoping maybe there will be a track pack available by the time I get to order that will include adjustable spring perches for ride height and corner balance but that’s probably a pipe dream.
If not then I’ll simply have the shock bodies machined so the spring perch is 20mm lower. That’s an easy fix with Bilstein’s. Just machine a new groove for the lower perch clip to ride in.

Before and after pictures on link. It will be my first mod when available.
Maybe the FE wheels will help a bit.
Did we get a confirmation (like 100%) that ride height between touring and sport suspension is the same??
Yes they’re both the same ride height. Direct from Gav Kershaw.Maybe the FE wheels will help a bit.

Yes but the VP cars and all the show cars they shipped all over the world we at least 20mm lower in the front than the latest batch of pre-production cars we’ve been seeing, the rears seem to be about the same except for the static models which are slammed. I guess we all get to wait until production cars hit the street to see who was telling the truth.Yes they’re both the same ride height. Direct from Gav Kershaw.
Yes they have. They have said numerous times the Seneca Blue show car is riding about 20mm lower than production height and the Shadow Grey dynamic prototype is running about 5mm above production height.Yes but the VP cars and all the show cars they shipped all over the world we at least 20mm lower in the front than the latest butch of pre-production cars we’ve been seeing, the rears seem to be about the same except for the static models which are slammed.

Think about it, Matt and others have been quick to let everyone know the show car seats are 1” higher than production but no one has said the show cars suspension is 1” lower, have they?
I’m not talking about slamming the suspension and I seriously doubt a 10-20mm drop is going to have any measurable effect on handling, cause the shocks to bottom out or void any warranties. I did notice in the BOE pictures the Evora had close to a 50mm drop from stock, there was zero gap from tire to fender, I’m not looking for that. I just want the same stance as VP007.
Where do you think the current configurator sits ? To me it looks like 10mm above the blue show car.Yes they have. They have said numerous times the Seneca Blue show car is riding about 20mm lower than production height and the Shadow Grey dynamic prototype is running about 5mm above production height.
Sorry, I haven’t read every single thread hereYes they have. They have said numerous times the Seneca Blue show car is riding about 20mm lower than production height and the Shadow Grey dynamic prototype is running about 5mm above production height.
Yes it does but another colour does it best.Silly question, but is this another small win for DV? Does a darker color help with ride height compared to a lighter or brighter car which would show the gap as “larger”?
#ForTheDV
Just thinking out loud here. DV with black pack will just make that gigantic gap look like part of the design right? DV with black pack could be called “Gap Pack”.Yes it does but another colour does it best.

I’m not saying it’s “Subaru Outback” gap but it’s definitely not “show car” gap…
#ForTheGapPack
It depends which environment you use in the configurator. I agree your screenshot looks about halfway between the blue showcar and grey dynamic prototype. But switch it to Sunlight or Studio and it changes slightly - in some views the gap also looks different between front and rear. In Video it looks different again (although harder to tell even when you pause it) and in the final few seconds when stationary it appears to be riding higher.Where do you think the current configurator sits ?
