Adam@NWCarbonHaus - Car looks awesome and love the stance! Any rubbing in the rear with 15mm spacers? Most setups I have seen are 15mm Front and 12mm Rear. What tire setup? Looks like the factory installed Pirelli's have been replaced.

Thank you! Yes, I have Falken All Season tires to get me through the winter. No rubbing in the rear, but I do get a little scrubbing in the front. Also lowered on AST ALS.

Adam@NWCarbonHaus - What is AST ALS? Is that the same as the AST HAS kit? If so, how is the ride quality and how low did you drop the car? I'm trying to decide between the height adjustable kits from AST and Evolve.

For the front scrubbing with 15mm spacers, is it at full lock? Would a 12mm spacer be better?

Someone needs to figure out how to make the CF bucket seats work in the G99.

Yes, ALS is Adjustable Lowering Springs. Same as HAS. They just renamed it for some reason haha.
I was stuck between AST and Evolve as well. But I couldnt find enough information on Evolve and I have used AST several times in the past and have been happy.

I have 15mm of thread left to go lower on all 4 corners. With that said, I am scrubbing the outer front fender wells on hard dips. So maybe a 12mm would be better to help avoid that, but damn 15mm looks good!

As cool as that would probably look, I am more of a comfort seat guy. I had 2 G80's, one with buckets, and one with comfort seats. I prefer comfort seats for daily driving. I also added carbon fiber seatbacks to the comfort seats so it was like the best of both worlds.

So maybe I will add carbon seat backs to the G99 as well

Thanks for the information! The stance with 15mm on all corners looks damn good. I might go 12mm in the front and 15mm in the rear. I have 2-3 months to decide on the suspension and spacers. I will likely drop the car the same amount. #inspired
