Got it. Was looking at the same ones to replace my leaky OEMs.

They're a great replacement choice that won't break the bank hard and still perform nicely. Always liked Tokico shocks. Have their higher end D-specs on my 03 Cobra which is my weekend warrior.

Yeah I fig'd I go with the same setup; lowered ride height but not to the expense of losing ride comfort. Would go coilovers too but found out some setups on coils causes the VSC light to kick in.

When doing my research for the suspension I heard a bunch recommend coil overs. But I didn't want to spend that sort of money and plus it's my DD and casual fun car. Not looking to get competitive. Ride quality took preference.

Car looks great. Good shock recommendation. I have Eibach350's, when I replace shocks I will consider those.

Very nice! Clean and simple! I'm trying to go for a similar look as well. Can't afford rims yet.

Note: I think OEM 18's are cast wheels.

I really like gloss graphite on the new Vossens

Really? Thought I heard different. Probably also because they have held up great with these bad potholes over the years.

Yeah I was sold when I saw them in person.

Not really. Guess my guy didn't send me that shot or perhaps never took it. I do have a somewhat side shot at a local car show. Pic isn't as great quality since it's off my phone though.

Thanks! Just had them done in black. Actually wished I did them in the F-Sport blue.
