Unofficial GRP Lowering Kit Installation Guide

[Savanna7]

Hello All!

I recently completed installing a number of parts on my (new to me) Emira. I typically film everything to help out others, but this time I got a bit lazy and just created an installation guide. I want to be clear, this is in no way endorsed by GRP, but I felt like more info on this matter would be helpful having just done it myself. Please find the attached pdf with installation steps and photos below. Hopefully it helps the next installer!

(Also, being my first post, throwing a few photos of the car in here prior to installation. I'll try to get some post-installation photos this week.)

I love the livery, and thank you for sharing the lowering kit installation! Welcome to the forum!

Great livery. And I like that you continued it into the door jam. People rarely do that level of quality.

Thoughts on the lowering? How’s handling? How’s ride comfort?

I love the Emira but feels it rides way too high. Doesn’t give me as much confidence as I want

@sixspeedstephen So far, I have only driven it around town maybe 10-15 miles. It's very compliant and feels as though it rides as normal. I'm sure with a slightly lower center of gravity, it has some effect on handling, but the real advantage will be once its corner balanced.

I don't intend on tracking this car, as I have a separate dedicated track car. Because of that, I think this is a fantastic streetable compromise to aftermarket coilovers.
