Front springs on their lowest setting? Looks great and much lower than mine, which is why I'm asking.

She's a beauty! Also did you feel the intake at all? Would you say it's worth it?

Thank you much. I did the exhaust and the intake at the same time so I can't comment on the intake change alone.

Finish it off with the rear roof spoiler

Does it make any type if whistling noise? Like a cold air ?

Not that I can hear over the top of the Akrapovic exhaust but it is a worthy upgrade over the stock system.

Should be about $500-600 range on average (that's for all 4)

I got four quotes ranging from $300 to $600, all four wheels. I ended up going with a shop I trust to do premium work that fell on the higher side of the quote range. In my mind the quality of work overrides the lowest price when we are talking small dollars. Powder coating the stock wheels black was a no brainer shorter term option for me considering the cost of the mods I am working on currently. I am dumping a ton of money into getting this car dialed in to the long term look. In the end I will add after market wheels to complete the look at some point in time but these will work for now.

Hey floating.spirit How do you think your "reds" would look on my car, with black calipers???

yeah, I have never really be a "cosmetic first" kinda guy.. so I wanted go more in the performance side before buying wheels as well.. but every darn time I see wheel ads.. it draws me in like a moth

MSUGOGRN · 06-24-2021, 11:28 AM

Absolutely fantastic build! The stance with those spacers and the lowering springs is perfect. Can't wait to see more pics.

Killer! Dooit! You might wanna get Ben's low-dust break pads though. The dust of the OEMs dulls the shine quite fast.
