Agreed on the banner. The car looks really nice though. It's too clean to have that huge banner on the front. If anything, could with smaller decal on the back window or something (and that's only if you really feel the need to).

Details on the suspension?

The banner is gone haha. As for the suspension they're stance gr+ with an spc camber kit. I also brought the spring rate up to 14k/10k. And if you were wondering the wheels are SVT cobra wheels 17x9 +26 I believe. Not 100% I have a bad memory.

Its so low that the old spring rate was causing the upper control arm to bash the ball joint on the shock tower. When I brought the spring rate up 2k in front and put the original front springs in the rear it no longer makes contact unless there's a very large pot hole or bump in the road.

By the way this is a picture I just took 5 minutes ago. The hood is a brand new primered hood that I need to get painted to match the car. A lady in a Chevy Tahoe backed into it with a trailer hitch. Thank god my car was slammed otherwise worse damage would have occurred.

I have actually been getting alot of people saying that they like the hood black but Im just not feeling it. I would like the whole car to be the same color. Yes it would be easier to just wrap it but the guy I got the hood from dropped of and put a dent in it. So it needs a little body work as well. But there's a car show coming up that I entered in weeks before the accident so I may end up wrapping it for that and painting it afterwards.

And thank you for the wheel compliment. I got them for 600 bucks from my cousins cobra. And I already had tires so I couldn't pas it up.
