Great looking set up. Probably my favorite wheel out there. I am considering getting them for my RS as it saves about 35 lbs over stock.

Thanks for all the compliments.

To answer your questions:

I will have to ask Arling to post my alignment settings as I have no clue. I just asked for medium street performance

Golfguy: The lip is already painted from the factory. Looks great but I will have to be VERY careful, especially with the new height.

BTW, I also have the Dension 500 and the Bluetooth kit in the car. Works great. That is one of the reasons I decided to get the carbon stuff so I can have a multifunction steering wheel.

Terrence,

my bad for not viewing the bigger pics.

so far so good, no scrapping. try eclou's "cheapart" splitters for extra insurance.

TT is a much better daily driver. Rides better, softer clutch, smoother (but longer) shifting, quieter, better stereo, more comfortable seats. tons of power . The exhaust and the wheels really help in its throttle response. and the GIAC helps a bit on that also, but more so in mid to high rpm torque. Straightline speed is awesome.

RS is no comparison (way better) when it comes to "fun to drive". The throttle response and race-car like grip is a blast to experience on an open canyon road. The quickness of the suspension to absorb and rebound small bumps is way better than the turbo. You can feel how light the car is in comparison. The RWD is more "edgy" and fun in corners. The steering is lighter and more communicative. The exhaust sound on the RS with the switch unplugged is awesome and much better than the turbo (even with any aftermarket exhaust).

As I said, they are both great in their respective roles and superior to the other when it comes to performing the tasks they were built to do.
