Thanks guys!!!

To answer some questions:

The HID bulbs are 6000k from Xenon Depot (Ask for Steve). They are absoultely amazing. Upon warm up, they look like 8,000k's, but cool down to a nice 6,000k look. They are definately more blue, and honestly, miminal decrease in output, if noticable at all.

The suspension is Road Magnet, not H&R. Road Magnet had sponsored Team Lexus IS300, and after winning a bunch of events, Road Magnet "blew up". They started making custom springs for most all cars, and the best part is each owner with Road Magnets and request a specific drop! So if you only want .5" drop all around, they can do it! The springs are manufactured and customized here locally in the USA.

I will take pictures from sitting inside the car tonight when it's darker, but honestly I think every member should upgrade their bulbs. The 6k give it such a more distinct look, and it's not too blue at all, yet a little deeper over stock.

Yeah sadly you can't adjust the camber on the car so it's still off but everything is else meets specifications.

Ride quality is great, more steering responsive, but does need a rear sway bar for best handling.

Working with Road Magnet now to create sway bars for the car, will update soon =)
