A few shots of last weekend's mods
I spent last weekend installing a few early christmas presents for lexi. Crappy iphone pictures but they are better than nothing.
Flat bottom wheel and carbon ISF interior pieces
F-sport grill + Painted surround + black pearl emblem
Rear black pearl emblems (shadows make it hard to see)
KWV3's along with alignment + corner balance.
New pads + over dimple Adams rotors
Overall shot.
i know its not as low as most people go with coils but its about perfect for the way I wanted it. 100% no rubbing or any drivability issues (very important to me).

Looks nice! Quick question about coils, when adjusting the height, do you need to remove the wheel and how hard/easy is it to adjust? Thinking about getting coils in the next few months

agree. if it wouldn't mess up the rake and corner balance I might drop the front another 1/4"
Thank you.
Based on my very crude measurements it was about 1" in the rear and 1 1/4" in the front before the corner balance. My CB guy said he dropped the rear a few mm and raised the front a few mm.
I think it depends on how much patience you have as well as if you have a lift or are using a floor jack. From what I can tell its POSSIBLE to do it without removing the wheels but would be a heck of a lot easier if you did remove them.
I agree. I have really bad car ADD and i've been itching for something new. Hopefully this will keep that from happening for a little while.
It might be the lighting or the fact that they are on SGM but they do look darker than some others I have seen. I got them from Sewell. Not sure if they changed anything or not. I'll try to snap a few side shots.

It was a great improvement in the handling of the car.
Thank you.
It totally changes the look of the interior. I really like it.
Thank you
Thank you. That is nice to hear as that is the direction I was wanting to go. Its my DD roughly 15-20k a year so needed something practical yet my own.
