Default Anyone know this Spyder?

Trying to figure out what they did... Suspension... has it been modified? Spacers? Looks different than stock and I can’t put my finger on what is different. Or maybe nothing??? I do know the bolts have been swapped for black ones... Which I like.

H & R Springs? That's what I had on my last one. Lowered it by a bit. I also put spacers 7 / 15 mm fore and aft.

I have this same model and it seems it may be lowered. I have no suspension mods or spacers...yet!



Stock ride height


Just kidding!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
How was the ride? Does it make it more harsh? Which spacers did you use?
How was clearance? I feel like the approach angle on the 987.2 is worse than the 981 due to the differences in overhangs/wheelbase.

I thought the ride was ok. Def firmed up over stock but I never minded it.
RSS wheels spacers in Silver with black bolts used.
Never an issue with scraping in my experience. I’d do it again.

Did the same mod to my ‘16 Spyder also!

I'll see if I can find some. It lowered it and the ride did harshen a bit but it was super fun on the twisties. On my new one I just done the spaces and am considering the H&R springs as well and the H&R sway bar just to firm it up a bit. Time will tell...
