More pics soon, just had the OptiCoat Pro + done & is still curing. Can't wash it until next week sometime at the earliest. Also looking at getting pro shots done towards the end of the year.

So today I had some 5mm Superpro spacers installed on my rear RSR Down springs. It gave me a total of a 10mm lift in the rear.
I wasn't happy with the stance of the car with the rear wheel tucking slightly & the front reasonably flush. With a load of kids in the back & some luggage the rear wheel was tucking almost to the rim. I was also dragging over some speed bumps etc but now really liking the overall stance.
Yeah yeah pics soon :P

Fooz: I'm running a 275 in the rear on a 10" wheel with 45 offset. Do you think this would rub lowered? You have almost the same setup but on a 9.5 in the rear. Know anyone with my setup that is lowered?

It will be very close, you might be lucky. I'm on RSR downs & it doesn't rub but it's very close.

So the stock Mark Levinson 15 Speaker audio system is one of best I've heard as an OEM system, however it doesn't come close to my previous cars aftermarket system.
After numerous emails back & forth with a local sound guru, I have droipped a stupid amount of money into an audio system which will be installed in the next few months.
It will consist of the following equipment -
Focal Utopia Kit No 7 3 Way Components with Crossblock
Dynaudio Esotar E1200 Sub
3 x Tru Technology Steel V2 S2 Hand Built Amps
Arc Audio PS-8 Processor
The components will be run semi active, tweeters & mids will be fed from one amp dual mono via the crossblock, the bass will be fed active dual mono from another amp & the sub from the final amp mono mode.
This is gonna sound so awesome

Unfortunately I pretty well threw everything on at once with the wheels, tyres, springs & car near new. I don't really have a base to compare to but it does handle & corner well. Of course it's gonna handle better throwing all that gear on though lol

I have solved my spare wheel problem!! The spacesaver wheel that come with the car was too small to fit over the massive Brembos so I bought the foam insert out of the RC-F & the pump & cement kit.
The insert fitted perfectly but was a little high, so I trimmed it down with a handsaw.
Trimmed & installed with the pump & cement kit inserted.

I dropped the car off yesterday for the audio install, here's a pic of the components.
3 of these babies .....
Front splits ......
There is also a Dynaudio Esotar E1200 sub & Arc Audio PS8 processor going in.
Unfortunately my newly install RC-F foam insert will be going for a custom setup housing the pump, cement kit, processor & crossblock lol
