H&R VTF Springs, 10mm TMS Wheel Spacers, Black Kidney Grills - Alpina B6 GC

[polar993]

A few more mods completed recently.

I adjusted the ride height of my H&R VTF Springs. Great system, and provides decent adjustability. The front is set about midway, and the rear is at its lowest setting. I am happy with the height, as I no longer scrape over speed bumps, and the car no longer has the severe front rake.

I installed the Turner Motorsports large face spacers. I went with 10mm front and rear, and I think it’s just about right. Not overly aggressive.

Black kidney grills installed today. Pain to get the original grills out, but worth the 25 mins effort.

Excellent upgrades those flushed out the wheels nicely. The rear is sitting very pretty.

Perfect stance
is the ride on H&R VTF springs noticeably stiffer?

Wow just the rear is too low (just my opinion) but the rest looks great.

I am very impressed with the H&R VTF Springs. The stiffness increased only slightly....i’d say by about 15%. The dynamic chassis settings are all still functional as well. In Comfort+ mode the car still feels very soft. In Sport mode it feels great, without it being too stiff.

No rubbing at all, which is great!

I highly recommend the VTF Springs if you want to be able to dial in your preferred ride height.

That is a perfect stance. Is it difficult to adjust height? Any specific tools ?

It’s not terribly difficult to adjust the ride height of the springs. You need a good adjustable spanner wrench to do it properly. The spanner wrench that age and our provides with the kit is too flimsy and doesn’t do the job adequately.

It’s easiest if the car is up on a lift, but I ended up making the adjustments by simply jacking the car up with a quality floor jack. I did one wheel at a time, making a note of how many turns of the adjustment spindles I was making. It is a bit of trial and error to get the exact ride height you desire, but totally worth the effort!

I have to say, I am very happy with the springs. The amazing ride quality of the Alpina was not at all compromised!

Thanks your alpina is beautiful. I was actually looking for one prior to purchasing my 650 but couldn't find one that checked all the boxes.

I have purchased the regular hr sport springs but now I'm contemplating this set up. I like the ability to adjust . I assume u just need to make sure both side are the Same. Lol

[polar993]

The VTF adjustable springs are about twice the cost of the standard sport springs (about $700), but I think it’s a worthy investment to provide the adjustability to dial-in your preferred ride height.

This is the best I have. Sorry for the dirty garage floors....it's the middle of the winter here in CT, and the snow and rain have been coming down lately!

My wife doesn't allow me to have a true Man Cave, so my garage is my sanctuary!

Can't wait till the spring to do a full cleaning and take some of my rides out of their hibernation! Including this one....

Indeed it is! She's a pleasure to drive. The Morgan is as "low-tech" as it gets! Old school motoring....there's nothing quite like it.
