19" No PSS9's those are Gemballa Lowering springs with matching Bilstein Sport shocks. It has actually settled more since the last picture

Stay Silver!!
On a black car the "goal" is to go as monochromatic as possible.
And that means NO COLORS! Change amber side markers to smoke, change turn signal bulbs to Silvervision, change gold hood badge to Ralph Boothe Silver emblem, and keep the silver on the calipers.

I was thinking something in the orange or purple family to give it that lambo look.

BTW, those are turbo/GT3 brakes which only come in red. Note how well they fill in those 18"s - and add unsprung weight :-(
