New order placed - Boulder, CO

[BLD_Emira]

Hey folks!

Gator submitted my order on November 12th, expected to arrive around May or June. Super excited! Reach out if you're in the Denver/Boulder area as I would love to meet up with some fellow Emira owners once I receive my car.

Currently, I have a '21 Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio (will be selling when the Emira is close to arriving) and a '24 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison. My Emira spec is magma red, V6 manual, gloss black V rims, full blackpack, black calipers, and black leather interior.

I have a question -- I've searched the forum and Google, but can't find an answer -- In this YouTube video featuring the Eventuri Emira (), I absolutely love the look of the car as shown at the 10:40 mark. I'm curious which of the lowering solutions they used, does anyone know?

Thanks,
BLD_Emira

Congratulations on your order and welcome to the forum @BLD_Emira !
Great choice in spec, it will look very classy!

I haven't modified my Emira, so can't directly help with your question, but I'm sure one of the forum members will be able to share their experience with lowering options.

Congrats on the order! I'm in Arvada. Happy to get together for a road trip.

Hey @Time2Fly, thanks for the note! Looking forward to connecting, seeing your ride, and learning about all the mods you've done. Your Emira looks sweet!

I see you've added a bunch of CF bits to it. My Alfa has carbon roof, exterior carbon pack, and carbon seats, but I'm not sure whether I'll introduce CF on my Emira. It looks like you kept the stock ride height...gap doesn't bother you? To be honest, I've never seen an Emira in person (hadn't seen the Alfa in person before I bought one either) so I'm not sure whether it will be acceptable to me or not. Some of the lowered Emiras I've seen on YouTube look mean though.

The gap doesn't bother me at all. It looks appropriate. Plus, with the extended splitter lowering it at all might be an issue. I already have to back into my garage at an angle.

Lotus USA confirmed my order on Nov 18th, so the waiting game begins.

If this is the same car as the eventuri development car I think it is on the KW V5 suspension setup.

You don’t need to spend anywhere near this kind of money to simply lower the car.

They mention it is the development car @kitkat . Thanks for figuring it out.

Thanks @kitkat! It is the Eventuri development car. I connected with their Engineering & Development lead, and he mentioned they used MSS springs: https://msssuspensionshop.co.uk/mss...GCjodEVDdz7kayJfjVdTEIdGRKgZJnH-sJdzPtZkQO0Po

Weird coulda swore they had shared a development car with KW for some reason. Maybe this car has been around lol.

Wow for the price of those springs + cups in the mss kit you may as well get a set of Nitron coilovers from Greg.
