Yes, I did not want to change the height due to the many constructions where I live, and I still sometimes scrape the bottom on speed bumps and bad roads.

I don't blame you keeping it stock height. I'm lowered on swift springs without the aero kit and scrap all the time. If I had the aero kit the front lip would be in some train tracks or in my driveway by now

I love the looks and it sounds good! Tom's kit looks bad ***. I agree with you guys on drop. With full lip kit, if you drop it, it will scrap everywhere you go lol. If I get full lip kit. I'll probably leave it stock or get coils and adjust it little bit. For me, I'm just gonna drop it and put wheels on and call it a day.

Yea like Amazon said, cup kit might be good idea for you. I might go coilover with cuo kit later if I want to add some carbon fiber lips on.

Thinking about adding EL headers and a tune, but waiting until things open up a little to be able to do it. I will go with RR Racing PPE EL headers and their tune for my 2018 if possible, otherwise only EL headers.

I also looked at sikky headers, but again I don't feel like cutting into my computer wiring as per their instructions. Therefore, I guess I will take some time to decide which direction I want to go and surprise you guys .
Car looks great - thanks for the shout out!

PPE Headers are definitely the way to go, for power and in terms of quality. Tuning for the 2018+ MY is still in the works and a high priority for us.

Please feel free to give us a shout with any questions or for a quote - contact@rr-racing.com

Just installed the PPE EL Headers on the car.

The car's low and mid range response is perfect and instantaneous and sounds great with the PTS JoeZ exhaust. Love it so far.

Thanks Josh for the help in getting the headers.

Awaiting the tunes for the 2018 GSFs.
