u do realize that the stiffest settings will produce a bouncy ride right? Always start at the softest and adjust from there.
Thought it was the opposite.
I'm now 9 click from Soft in the front, and 6 clicks from Soft in the rear. I absolutely love it. The car is comfortable yet handles like a dream.

Thanks. It was worthwhile experience. It just became very very hard to take care of, it got dirty real quick. Someone peeled my hood one day, and I just took the whole thing off and decided to embrace my maroon.
The mudguards were plasti dipped also.
I had the rear damping extenders planted in the rear. They are very flush to the deck, giving it a good look, and also enabling to change the damping settings very easily. Trust me you really don't wanna go through the hassle of removing the back seat every time you wanted to change the damping from hard to soft or vice versa.
They look very subtle and not very noticeable, yet very functional.
I had them scooted 7 cm from the seatbelt because that is where the damping **** is situated right under the deck.
Here is the new look of the car after the BC's drop. I can go way lower, but I really hate to rub my tires. I can go maybe .25 or .50 an inch without rubbing, but the coils will eventually settle there by time.
Thinking about adding some wheel spacers. But scared of any rubbing
Your car looks great man! Those extenders are a great idea. I have to pull my backseat out to adjust my Megans.
Spacers would look great. The rear should be fine but if you get front spacers you might want to get smaller tires. A 225/40/18 or 225/35/18 would work. That way you don't tear your fenders off when you make a turn.
I love those extenders...Wish I had sum.! I just pulled my rear deck up to adjust mine...sucked!
I Shouldve gotten BC's LoL!!
Just roll your fenders an dump it
Hahaha, I hope that day doesn't come, I really really would like to keep stock fenders. Although I'm really sure I will have to roll them if I get 20" Vossens, which is the next step after the kit.

Thanks!
Yea, taking out the backseat is not an easy job to do.
I love wide wheels, so I guess I won't get any spacers then. Keep those fenders safe
Finally got done with my first retrofit. I spent 6 days working on it. It was very challenging, luck wasn't on my side either.
My original headlight high beam was a 9006 bulb that was orange and very ugly. So I thought, I really need to replace that high beam with a bi-xenon projector.
Talked to the guys at TRS, and was told that with some modification, I should be able to fit a mini D2S.
Since my vision isn't very good at night, I decided I should go with XB55 ballasts, and let that sun shine!
Also because running at that high wattage, I decided to get Phillips 85122 Ultinon WX bulbs for all 4 projectors, so that they start very blue but then transition a pure white.
I would love to give explanations for every photo. But I am very lazy at the moment to do so, and a lot of the pictures are pretty self explanatory. Ask away if you have any questions.
Got some pics tonight. Raised the drivers side cutoff a little bit to match the passenger, didn't notice it very much till after the pictures.
Looks very good. Ive done a couple retrofits on other cars myself but not quad setups. Do you have a photo with the high beam activated? I may try this myself soon

It's so hard to look at the headlights when the high's are on! It hurts!
But it seriously lights up the whole neighborhood, since I'm running 55w ballasts
