Awesome news, thanks! Any idea when the suspension might be hitting the market or other details?

I wound up with 19x8.5" Forgestars in brushed aluminum finish. I'm running 225/40/19's Hankook V12's. Look great on car but needs to be lowered!

Awesome ! Thank you. Do keep us updated I'd like to lower mine a bit in the future too after I find some good wheels .

Mine are cut one in the front. It dropped it about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4. As expected, the ride is a bit stiffer but the road feel, body roll, and steering response is better.

Here is one pic with the 19's freshly installed. I had four stock wheels in the trunk so the car wasn't quite sitting right. It's way too high all around and I can't wait to drop it a bit to clean up the stance... I don't want to slam it, just make it sit right and hopefully maintain as much comfort as possible as this is my daily and not a sports car for me!

I may have to cut if nobody comes up with a solution soon...
