[sparky63]

I have here For Sale a set of wheel spacers, plus longer bolts and lowering springs for a 2013 Granturismo Sport Coupe, removed from car when sold, they only have around 2000 miles on them and are in great condition.
The spacers are custom made from Hill Engineering, model No's WS020-114, 20mm width, and WS015-114, 15mm width, wheel fitment is 114mm PCD, they cost £380 when purchased.
The Lowering Spring Kit is an H & R set, No. 28962-1 from Euro Performance and lowers the rear 35mm and the front 15mm, these cost £390 when purchased.
My asking price for the lot is £400, I've attached a few photos to let you see the result.

Delivery can be arranged however I've not yet obtained a price, I will do this if anyone interested.

Looks great. What did you replace the car with?

 

[StuartW]

What a beauty, it must be some car to have to taken the place of this one.

I'm sure you'll have no problem selling those parts - very popular upgrades

Hi Andrew. That really does look good. Cards on the table, I won't buy it because I already have spacers and don't want to lower mine that much, but I do welcome your perspective: what different did the lowering have on ride and handling? Did you get progressive springs or normal? And does your car have Skyhook?

 

[StuartW]

Remind me Adam, how much has yours been lowered & spaced out by?

Yes my car did have the Skyhook, the springs didn't hurt the ride IMO, made it slightly firmer with a little less body roll, so all in all a good mod I thought, and I think improved the looks.. though difficult to do on such a beautiful car!

 

[sparky63]

Well please don't hate me but I ended up with a Porsche Boxster GTS and a Range Rover Vogue, more useful for my situation.. Nothing gets me more looks than the Mas though, a beautiful machine and a very proud ownership.

That looks perfect mate... THe GT really needs those springs and spacers....Hope you enjoy the Boxster GTS...its a lovely car...

Thanks. A review on the Europerformance web site said it took a few months for the springs to bed in and start working well. Did you find the same?

Not lowered at all. Not yet... it's on the hit-list, targeting 15/20mm at the back and around 10mm at the front. But clearly new springs are required rather than just lowering it on the standard ones. Spacers are 18mm rear and 15mm front, which I thinks about right. I'd have gone wider but there's only so much shite I want to spray over the body work and much more would lead to accelerated road rash behind the wheels. It looks like this now:



So not as dramatic as the OP's one but the lowering (or lack thereof) would contribute a lot to that.

I remember now Adam, it does look very nice. It's amazing what a difference the spacers make, almost giving the impression that is has been lowered. I do like the personalisation of the flag on the grill too, a nice little touch

 

[sparky63]

No not really, I found them to be pretty good from the start, when they settled they probably lowered a tad more but nothing of note.

 

[stewarttownsend]

Stupid question but will this fit a later model only ? Im on a 2008 GTS at present, that blue looks awesome... thats a great colour

 

[stewarttownsend]

Having been out to look mine a few times now I want spacers and lowered Gives it a great stance looking at the pics.

 

[Maseratiman]

Gee whiz I've just bought a Gransport and already planning what I'll buy next! That car looks amazing!

Go for the spacers first, Stewart. They make a big difference. Strangely mine looks smaller with them on, and the stance is definitely improved. They give the illusion of reducing the amount of fresh air round the top of the rear wheels.

Sorry for the delay, back offshore now. I'm not quite sure, you'd maybe have to do a bit of digging, if the PCD on yours is 114mm then the spacers should fit, as for the springs, well can I suggest you contact Euro Performance where I got them from and they may be able to tell you! Sorry I can't give any more information.

 

[stewarttownsend]

Hey no probs sparky im off for a few days so can do some digging and yep once I went to look at mine can see lots of fresh air at top of wheels
