Default Project LOW finally begin

here are some pics. Still debating between 19" or 20". I am currently leaning toward 19" so I could use the stock tires.

I personally think 20s look best on the GS but 19s are a bit more functional around town with the added sidewall.

I was running 20" for over 10yrs with lowering springs. It feels good when you are going hard but thats only small percentage of the time.
I have until next spring to decide. First I will see what type of space I'm working with drop with the factory wheels.

Go 20"s. Fits the car more proportionately.

Default Progress

here is a installation video on the rear airlift suspension. I didnt do a video on the front because it was more straight forward. The rear shocks are adjusted 1 turn from the bottom. The front struts are adjusted 25 turns from the bottom.
the next video I will show how the car sit when air out and where the ride height is. This is with stock f sport wheel. This information is good for reference. I couldn't find this information when I was researching.

I really like all of your mods. I have the same carbon skirts and lip. Can you post link to that carbon fiber trunk spoiler? Did it ship fast? It looks really nice and want this for my GS as well.

Looks great! The fog lights WILL fit, but you have to take the whole front bumper off and replace the washer reservoir to a previous model size. The 2013 - 2015 (early) is what you're looking for. Part number 85315-80480 I believe. If you search that part number on the forum, you should get a bunch of fog light install threads (including posts of my install).

sorry for the late reply. I dont get email notification. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-2020-1...72.m2749.l2649.
I got it for less than $400. Im pretty sure he will work with you on the price.

I got your information too late because I dont have email notifications. I would of tried your idea if I knew earlier. I built some foglights housing but I didnt install them as yet because of the temp. I returned the foglights back to the ebay seller. I was busy with other mods and researching what wheel size to get that dont involve rolling or cutting the fenders
