Yes but you don't rise as high!

That's great news. My current trailer is quite steep.

Does anyone know if either rub with aftermarket wheels 9x10 (fronts) and 20x12 (rears)? I'm ordering a set of forged wheels to put on some wider Hoosier R7 tires (265, 295, 315 fronts, 305 or 345 rears). I'm planning on slowly increasing the width of the tires as I measure my lap times to see how it goes.

Has anyone had issues with the wider wheels rubbing the springs when lowered ?

Hey everyone,

Does the suspension lift still function properly w/ the Novitec & Velocity solutions?

Has anyone tried either on track? Any noticeable improvements in lap times?

Also, does anyone know how low the Novitec springs can lower the car ? I'm looking to go a bit lower than 1". My 720s is primarily a track car.

Lift system still 100% functional with our VelocityAP springs. We've had lots of people track their cars pretty serious with our springs fitted, but I don't know that we have had any real concrete back to back results that I'd use to make any claims like that.

We have them in stock: McLaren 720S Progressive Rate Lowering Springs – Velocity Automotive Performance

Lift function still works with Novitec or Velocity AP. Velocity AP has about the drop that you want, but it's fixed. The ride quality in the Novitec and Velocity AP are very close to OEM.

Wider wheels is no problem, but just depends on the widths and offsets. I've seen 325/30/20 rears on a 12 fit on a slammed car. I think "Savage Garage" on youtube and instagram is running this set up

Have the velocity lowering springs on my 2019 720s with 900 miles on the clock. Dropped off to dealership and feedback is all 4 accumulators are shot along with a speed sensor. Checking with mclaren to see if they will cover under warranty. Is this at all common? Will probably replace everything myself if it’s not covered.

What fault made you bring car in ?
accumulators are known for going bad but usually not on a newer car and with such low miles . A few 720 owners on this forum have replaced theirs,some 2018,some 2019 MY.
speed sensor? as in abs wheel speed sensor? not an issue on most cars.
springs could possibly contribute to early failure but the damper would be most concerned by the new ride height,the accumulator doesn't really know where the car sits but mac can use this as way to deny coverage and it would be hard to blame them.

I have seen speed sensors go bad and the 600lt and 720s

There was a fuel pump issue (covered under warranty) and the 2 year service was due. Yup wheel speed sensor. They are checking if that could be covered under warranty. Car doesn’t have any CEL on. I can see their point as well so not too bummed out. Just hope they cover the wheel speed sensor as the car is is hardly driven and for that to fail at 900 miles doesn’t make sense.

I think we are closing in on 100 cars lowered on VelocityAP Springs right now. So far zero rubbing, zero faults.


One of the biggest advantages to our springs is the tapered coil - gives you a true progressive spring rate so ride quality is not diminished on poor quality roads, while reducing body roll and improving transient response.

I am considering running 265/35/19 and 325/30/20 will it rub if I lower the car on AP springs. Are the springs tested for extensive track usage?

I running 265/30/20 front wheel 10”
And 325/30/21 12.5 wider with few degrees negative camber due to a wider tire

 

[ridwan478709]

What tires are you running brand and compound

 

[touristboi]

Have Novitec on mine and have been happy. Don't need spacers but looks way better with them IMO.

how bad is the scraping over driveways or bumps?
