the drop isn't that dramatic at all, but the handling improvements are very noticeable, car is a lot more firm and confident when going into turns. even on straight line the car no long feels wobbly.

Very nice, bro. I'm also looking for a minor drop wit 19's. I have AWD so everything is a bit more complicated than the RWD.

I thought they dropped the "LEXUS" emblems on the rear on the 2011 models?

that was factory Brembo brake. i sold the EVO because it's not suitable for daily driving. i changed job recently 80 miles commute everyday. no one would want a high mileage EVO in a year or so, so decide to sell it and get something more suitable as a daily driver. speaking of the LEXUS emblem, i think mine has it because it was attached to the LEXUS OF GLENDALE emblem, they took out the latter part and kept the LEXUS alone.
