Thanks all.

Jiaim - i have them in 3404x2336. I shot them with a lesser camera this time. Was too lazy to switch lenses.

Wow. Car looks great with HR drop. Awesome pics too.

The car looks great. It looks to be a little lower than the Techart springs.

How is your Tow and Camber? Is it still within spec?

How does it handle?

Does it still understeer as you go into a turn and then oversteer as you get ready to exit the turn like the stock suspension?

Thanks.

Ady,alin2,gslider, Vik, Cabman,chrissurfr,thisflkyguy,Jenkster - Thank you very much.

Maybe we should have a seperate section called picture ******.


N2IT - I think I will PS it with a picture I have of the rear. I took a few shots of the rear for this reason.

I originally had TA springs in mind but the drop was a little less than I was hoping for from the pictures that I saw. The toe is set a little less than spec and the camber a little more negative than spec. The only issue would be slight inner shoulder wear in the rears as they get older. I will check this for the next month or so to make sure its not too aggressive.

The car is better transformed from stock(understeer/oversteer) and is more compliant in the ride feel. Very planted as compared to before. I took it for a spin on some new turns today and it was very confident inspiring as I generally need a few runs on new roads to get comfortable but I was able to initially engage them harder than I would have but still conservative as I like to keep the car in one piece


jenks how is work coming along ...end of august meet?

Not a huge fan of the OEM wheels, but that little bit of a drop makes all the difference in the world. Your car looks incredible. Starting to wish I had ordered white.
