    Installed my ST coil overs the other day. Could go lower but it rubs and rides like poop. I'm not into the slammed look more about performance for me.

    Waiting on fog light kit from ecs idk who else sells the harness hopefully that will be here soon.
    Also have the lower chrome trim grill that everyone hates lol
    "smoke" tail lights
    And finally an ECU tune after i decide which one to go with. Most likely Unitronic

    Thanks they're RS4 reps.

    My car is already tinted! Lol it's just the lighting. Tint in the front isn't allowed where I am so I only have 50 up front and 35 in the rears and back. Kinda wish I did 20 in the rear though.

    Do you rub on your back wheels? i rolled my fenders on the front so i think ill be able to go all the way down

    Haven't had issues with the rears yet.

    What offset are your 19s? How low is your car sitting currently?

    Pics of the fenders rolled would be great

    19x8 ET 42. The ride is harsher than stock but still ok. They have really bad roads where I am so I feel most bumps especially with 19s on. It was better on the 17s. Car handles better and looks way better so I'm willing to sacrifice ride comfort for that.

    very nice. Well I only had to roll my front fenders the back ones don't need to be rolled. My 12 bit triple square should be in today and in about a week everything should be on. I'll keep you posted

    Thanks! Ya, the list goes on and on...haha I may drop it some. I measured and this one sits an inch lower than my '11 SE did which is pretty cool. I actually like the wheels and tires so may leave those alone. Exhaust for sure eventually. I def want to get the tint done darker though.

    Your pics arent helping the situation... Your car looks sweet!

    I was perfectly fine with the stance my car had until I saw that. If I were to go lower, that is exactly how I would want it to sit. What are you running for suspension? Also, what specs are your wheels? I like the way they look.
