A drop is so important to the overall look that I can't comment yet until it happens.

The angle sure does make the rotors look small. Looks better in person and even more so than my stock 11 rotors.

If my memory serves me correctly it was $1300 for the Front and $1400 for the rears..YES rears were more.. weird. Got them from ChopsMVP vendor here. If you decide to get them there's a good chance that you may need to shave the holes just a tad where you mout the caliper bracket to on the front end.

Yeah..I was thinking abuot the NF210s. I'd like to see our cars together some day so we can compare the finishes.

Thanks for the feedback guys.. figure you'd collectively say DROP it. Who knows I may keep it at stock height. I'm pretty happy with the look.

Got wheels from RavSpec smooth transaction. It was an agonizing 4 month wait.

the rears are more expensive probably due to less demand
