Default My lowered SC

With a help of couple of CL members I got my car lowered on tanabe and kyb shocks.












Car now definitely handles better. Feels like a german car now.

Thanks!

I noticed the subtle matching of emblems couple of months after wheels install. New shiny gold emblems are on the way. Can't wait to get them installed.

As far as price. Tanabe was purchased from ebay seller located in Temple city. I called them and they gave 'em to me for $217 picked up. Let me know if anyone is interested in their contact info.

Future plans include Paintless Dent Removal for few dings and front bumper repaint. No immediate plans for performance upgrades though. I love the sleek 95 look. If done right I believe 95's can look just as good as 97's.

I really like the look of those sportmax's. I'm really thinking about some for mine.

EDIT: What's the offset?

Nice color match setup. I like the gold wheels with black just something about it. I am waiting for the retard as always to say to drop it lower even though you will go threw tires like a serial killer. Leave it the way it is looks great!

If it spends 2/3 of the next year in the shop you can complete the German car ownership experience

I think it looks perfect. Cough up the details of the setup so I can steal it!
