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...

Looks absolutely fantastic!

looks great, do you think doing just 12mm spacers without lowering will look odd?

Love it. I think stock ride height makes the Emira look uber-willing to go attack. Lowered makes it look happy to be parked.

Mine has the GRP sleeve lowered with 12mm spacers, it pretty much makes it the same height of my buddy’s stock STO(his might be lower). The sleeve doesn’t make it slammed or anything stressful. The STOs front splitter is longer, so he has to be more careful.

Took her on a road trip to the Tail of The Dragon. Handled those curves so well. Unfortunately I'm depressed about my boring Florida roads now.

Stunning car and pics!

Haha yeah. I think it would look better if lowered, but I'm more concerned about scraping. Not like we have front axle lift or something.
