Thanks

Few updates to come within the next few days. Hopefully next year I will have the fogs installed, waiting on my service adviser to get back to me with the parts (harnesses, relays, etc...) I need to order to have it factory installed

Picked up JDM Visors from Speed Element Performance today .

^^^ Looking good Josh..!!

There is no factory harness or relays to order...
Save your self time & energy and just by a heavy duty / quality aftermarket H11 Fog light harness...

Hi, I know you already mentioned earlier that installing coilover may lose the electronic dampening function, but I was wondering if you would lose the function too if you install just lowering springs.

You don't lose the AVS function by installing lowering springs. The AVS motors are connected to the factory shocks/struts so as long as they aren't changed the AVS will still work.

^ he is correct, springs do not thow any errors, and still maintain he AVS Functions

Coilovers do not throw any errors however you lose the AVS function
