Springs arrived and installed. I went with the Techart lowering springs due to the fact that I didnt want to deal with scraping and change in drive feeling too much. And as I read from the forum, they didnt change the driving feel and the drop is modest, but just right for me. I actually like the feel a bit better as the car feels more planted. I expect the car to settle a tiny bit more after a few kms. Here are a few pics... Let me know what you guys think....

I also went with a new exhaust system made locally here. The exhaust system is made by a company named Bullet Performance. The quality of work is excellent and I am very happy with it. As they are a new group, they are testing new ideas and products.

I just installed their new tips, which are hand crafted double walled tips. Below are before and after pics....

Thanks Johnny... Here are a few pics of the exhaust when it was being made and I managed to find a few vids of exhaust at idle and rev with one drive by video. I really like the sound. It is civilized when idle and with normal driving, then really wakes people up at WOT!!! Let me know what you think...

Your exhaust sounds good! Good stuff! Nice drop and very good choice with the 19's. Perfect size IMO.
