Looks good!

Any plans for lowering springs? I ask since we drive in similar climates where ground clearance can be an issue.

I have 2 concerns with springs: 1) will they compromise the dynamic suspension settings of the F Sport package? 2) driving through winter in Wisconsin

Just curious to hear other people's thoughts-again, congrats! Wheel model/brand/size/offset?

I actually lower it with tanabe springs. it works fine with f-sport mode. no vibration. haven't experience winter driving yet. its summer time here so I wont be able to let you know till October. it drop about 2 1/2" in the front and 2" at the back.

I got Vossen vvscv3 20". 9" in front and 10.5" at the back. I've had the modification for a week now and haven't notice any alignment issue. having the wide tires makes a lot different with the grip on the road. I get a lot of head turning every where I go.

congratz, looks good. are you running spacers? just asking because the tires look pushed out past the fenders.

thanks syd. my mechanic said no. that's how it is when he install the wheels. it does look like there is a spacer in it.
