Your car is already lowered cause of that 200lbs+ bazooka in your trunk!!
Look if you can ride with the invidia mid-pipe then you can ride with stiffer suspension lol

lower it on coils, and adjust the dampening if you're afraid of a rough ride.

well it depends on the coilovers you get, brands vary. but go to a meet or something and ask some people there to take you on a ride .

or look up some reviews.

It's gonna rain tonight to tomorrow. I have BC Racing coilovers waiting to be installed this Saturday, but looks like it's going to be a Sunday install if it's still raining. I'm on F-Sport springs now, but the drop isn't low enough and is uneven. You'll want to buy a set after seeing these pics and the adjustability coilovers can bring.

so to detail our engines, anyone know if it's as simple as covering the battery, air filter, & ECU, then spraying APC everywhere and then lightly hosing off the engine bay? I was thinking about doing this for my spring cleaning but don't want to screw up anything that shouldn't get wet...

So.. today, I tried to plasti dip my window trims and side mirror trims cause Aerotect were to busy to vinyl mine, and FAILED horribly!! took me 3 hrs to installed and uninstalled it. After installing it.. I was peeling the left over plasti dip off and the entire piece came off =(. So I was like F this project! and decided to peel the rest off. I was never any good with exterior modding. I guess vinyl it is! Damn you ApokC and your DIY threads!! j/p lol
