What did you do to your Emira today?

[kvb968]

Painted my Supercharger Cover. I used Dupli-Color with Ceramic hi temperature enamel, three coated, then block sanded the

Lotus letters.

Now I understand where this clip is supposed to go.

I reinstalled my diffuser without.. now I know where it goes too!

I have 12mm all 4 corners and no lowering and think it looks great. Sorry, not the best picture.

Do you find that the fronts stick out a bit too much, if not lowered?

Finally got the Emira dialed in properly on the GRP lowering cups w/ 12mm spacers all around. Gonna have to bump up the rear height a touch and keep an eye on the CV boots, but it's looking and driving sharp.

How low can you go without rubbing the CV boots? Trying to decide if I am better off going with the lowering sleeves or nitron coilovers. I am looking to end up with about a 1 finger gap.

Drove it around the test track at Lotus HQ, Hethel!

I'm still experimenting with my car so I can't directly answer that but I do suspect it'll be more than a one finger gap in the rear based on the rubbing I had prior to the last adjustment. @GRP has a shop car that has been problem-free for awhile at basically the max lowering amount so he might be able to provide more specifics in terms of raw ride-height measurement in the rear or provide some better pics.

For reference, here are a few pics from where I initially lowered the car and later found there to be some evidence of CJ boot rubbing when going to adjust it further. In other words, it needs to be just a touch higher than this:

For me I don't feel that way.

That looks very nice.... it gives me an idea, could I possibly get away with this...
