Here are some pics I took after washing the car. Looks much much better without the 4x4 fender gap. As far as handling it is a day and night difference. The suspension was setup to GT3 specs and the car feels much more planted and I feel a heck of a lot more comfortable driving it now than it was stock. Wheels are almost here so look for more pics soon!

Wow, you went really low. You're going to get irritated with the way the front end scrapes everything but the car looks fantastic.

Also, what percentage is your tint?

Jay, the car looks great man! I agree! The lowered stance and handling improvements are awesome!

Its hard to believe that you can improve the handling on these cars, but somehow these Bilsteins do it!

Congrats and enjoy! Be sure to post up more pics once you get the HRE's!

The rear is not that low as I can easily get two finger widths between the top of the tire and the fender. The front is a tad lower. Not much of any scraping problems so far, but I may have them raise it 1/8". I assume if this is done the corner balancing will have to be redone correct?

Yeah, if you adjust them, you'll have to have the corner balancing redone and the car realigned.

Based on your comments above, my car is the exact height as yours (great choice)! Barely 2 fingers in the rear, and none able to fit in the front.

You'll have to re-do your alignment once the new wheels come in anyway, so you may as well corner balance again too.

The car looks super clean right now and it will look even better with the new wheels (brushed centers look hot on a white car)!

Not too low at all, perect. Throw on some rear 11mm spacers when you get the new wheels. Enjoy.
