Yeah the TOMs rear strut bar will definitely tighten up your steering response, I myself need to stiffen up the front before I tend to the rear, a little more oversteer than I like.
Oh awesome, which wheels are you waiting on? Yeah thanks, I'm really loving it. I need to find a nice, out of the way road where I can set up a camera and record the sound, maybe even get a friend to follow for a car to car pull away shot. That should even it out for you, I haven't felt too much of that.. maybe I'm going easy or because I usually keep the TCS on so far.

I just wanted to reduce fender gap a little, mostly in the rear.. it seemed raked before. It sits nice to me now, and even. You can't tell if it came like that or if it's lowered, also a plus for me since they were designed to work with factory struts. The ride is much better, more firm for sure and better steering feel. It feels more capable on the road and in the corners.

I have the Leon Hardiritt Orden CV on order. Wont be in until maybe February though...there are a few roads in City of Industry that are much less traveled and easier to manage what you're trying to achieve!

Nice, is that considered VIP style? Thanks for the tip, I'll need to check that out.

Congrats and great photos. As an experienced and advanced photographer myself, I 98% of the time eye-roll when I click on a post where a "photographer" claims to have posted his "work." I came in expecting that but was pleasantly surprised. Nice job and nice light/strobe setup.

I randomly just pulled over while driving to get these quick clips. The driving clip isn't as crystal clear as I'd like but you can still get a pretty good idea of the sound

Sounds clean...any droning while idle? I think that's the biggest thing that would sway me from an aftermarket setup, would give me a headache haha.

Thanks, I really love it! No drone and no rasp, at times its as if its not there. The idle is quieter than the cold start in the video and when you reach the speed you are going to maintain the sound pretty much goes away. One thing that did bother me, which isnt a huge deal, is how it exposes all the work that the 8 speed transmission is doing when in auto. Without the exhaust it was fine but now you can hear the constant shifting it is doing and it can sound bogged down when in very low rpms. I've dealt with that by driving in manual mode 80-90% of the time.

That makes complete sense...i believe thats the huge caveat of having an exhaust system on an automatic car...most of the time it sounds pitiful. But like you mentioned, at least with our cars you can work around that by throwing it into manual mode haha! I guess that's why I have no desire to pick up performance parts, and keeping it to all aesthetics and upkeep.

Beautiful car and great pictures! You definitely know how to use those angles. I also have a white GS (twins) and I live in the South Bay area (closer to LAX). Let me know when your ready to cruise around the city for a photoshoot. Follow me at IG @Lexi_Fsport
