Bought the car about 6 months ago and I am very happy with it so far. After a couple months I put the H&R 50750's on it (swapped onto stock shocks). I'm currently running a square wheel/tire setup: Cosmis Racing R1 in 18x9.5 et35 with a 235/50/18 (stock Goodyear Eagle RS-A police spec). Next up I want to get a tune, I may buy the HP tuner and do it myself.

Simply amazing that something as simple as a new set of wheels totally changes the look of the car. Very nice.

Lowering these cars has a bigger effect than anything else.lastcall190 wrote:Simply amazing that something as simple as a new set of wheels totally changes the look of the car. Very nice.

Like I said in OP: H&R 50750 lowering springs for a G8, swapped into stock shocks. $230 shipped from Tire Rack.bluethunder wrote:Wheels look really nice......silly question but how did you lower your car??

Re: Garrett's 2012 Caprice 9C1
Any special mods to the suspension change or bolt right on?
Re: Garrett's 2012 Caprice 9C1
Nope, just pulled each strut off and swapped the springs. One of the easier strut removals I've done on any car; the whole process took about 3 hours start to finish.jreid8231 wrote:Any special mods to the suspension change or bolt right on?
