Interior looks dope. Good job on wrapping them with CF. That CF looks stunning! Looks like real CF! I know my next mods

I love the Megatron theme. You did a great job with the interior and the new wheels give the car a better stance than the OEM wheels. Keep up the good work with your mods!

thank you for the kind words as well. there are some blemishes but can be ironed out easily. i do love the rims though. i said that i wouldn't lower it, but I'm really thinking about it now.

ain't that the truth! I can get the F Sport springs at a really good deal so I'm really considering it! but I think my next mod might be the Stillen front and rear parts.

I am a coils person hence why I now have the RS-R coils. I think that the springs lower the amount of movement the shock is supposed to have. by going to a shorter spring, I think that you limit the stroke the shock was designed to use. MHO

But the car looks better with a little height taken away

you're correct about that, but the shock will continue to dampen the bounce of the spring whether the spring is shorter; the shorter stroke of the shock does not reduce it's performance. the only negative with the stock shocks/struts, is that they may not be rated to handle the lower compression and stiffness of a lowering spring, thus leading to buying a set of shocks/struts sooner than usual. now if the springs were longer, then there would be an issue if the shock's stroke was too short to cover the spring's spring/bounce rate.

That would be correct, I have an AWD and hence the only option from RS-R
