lol thanks adam!

no, didn't get kw, still too expensive for my blood (i am cheap) and couldn't find any used ones. ended up with bilstein shocks and eibach springs for now.

and the car is so darn low for driving...

wow, you went with eibach?
they're super low for my liking when I was looking for something to go with the bilsteins.
I went with the teins instead (however, never got to install them).

I keep looking but I really don't see anything cosmetic to add or change. You could but nothing else is needed. It has a bit of everything already: sport, luxury, exotic looks, class....I don't think I'd change anything unless you want to go away from the all-around to a specific genre. You could go tuner or do more sport but this way its an all-around star.
Only thing I can see is changing the wheels every year or two.

hahaha i hate you and a lot of my fb friends

yeah i saw you selling your old bilstein and eibach setup!!!! so your car is not as low now? i thought it's even lower. the car is definitely not easy to drive now...

Perfect Wheels and stance! I had VS-XX before too, but I don't think they will clear BBKs, so that cans the future brake upgrade!
