To be honest I never checked. All they told me was that the alignment was worse before I brought the car to them. For all the work they did I only paid $45 so I wasn't gonna be a pain.

I got some plans. Hopefully Christmas won't be too expensive.

Also, did you roll your front fenders or remove the inner plastic liner? Sorry for all the questions, I have the same exact wheels and I would like to prepare myself before slamming the car this week.

Front fenders are slightly modified. The plastic liners are cut where they rub the most.

So this evening my alternator fell off and broke my water pump . I believe the lower alternator bolt fell off somewhere because it was no where to be found. Luckily this happened right infront of the shop. This is the weardest thing that ever happened to me.

Very nice and i have to say that the MKIV wheels on the SC looks actually good. They don't look small at all.

Yeah that's because the SC is nicely lowered.

So a few local guys were hanging out last weekend and decided to do a friendly mile run between a couple of M5's. I was out there as well as a few other fast cars; a supercharged corvette, turbo M3, a really fast turbo MR2 and several others. I had fun untill I discovered that my car was limited to 155 mph . I'm really committed to going full standalone now. I could keep up with the M5 easily until 155 and then he started pulling away.

Does that equate to 155mph and is your car boosted?

240km/h ~ 150mph.
My GS3 is bone stock, so it took me a while to reach that speed.

I got a video of it somewhere...

It took me about 3/4 of a mile to get to 155 and then nothing. I know the car has a lot more in it and this is still being done with a bone stock tranny. The tranny still feels as good as the day I got the car.
