Default Borla on an AWD 250.....
With a little bit of coaxing....the Borla exhaust fit the 250 AWD. Sound is def louder than stock....we'll see what it sounds like after a few hundred miles. Deep, but a little louder than I expected. We needed to cut a little from the rear section pipes, but it does fit. We will re-position it when the kit gets installed....didn't have time because I have to leave on a biz trip.







Spacers on stock 350 wheels with winter tires....

I think that drop is perfect! Nicely done.

Thanks....Road Magnet developed their springs on this car, so it has the prototypes on. I'm not sure what the final drop was...maybe 2". The spacers are hubcentric spacers that are 1" thick. Now the stock wheel comes close to the fender...stock look was waaaaayyyyy to far in. My machine shop does awesome work with hubcentric spacer.

What size tires do you have on those rear wheels? They look smaller than stock and a bit stretched on the wheel. Overall looks great.

Finally, AWD specific springs!
Please let us know when they are released.

Do you have a full view pic of your car? That drop is awesome!!! Im still debating of when to install my Stechs Are there any company's that make spacers like the H&R's? Ive seen a lot of spacers and most of them are junk compared to the design of the H&R's (IMO)

The tips hang too low and stick too far out.
