I got off the BC Coilovers before I put on my 20" wheels, now on RSR Springs. With stock wheels and tires I noticed minimal rubbing. I loved the look of the coilovers but they were too low for my daily use at the time. I've debated going back to them but let me know if you're interested in them.

On another note... just color matched my calipers, engine trim (engine cover, relay fuse covers, battery tie, etc.) and added RR Racing Intake. More pictures in my build thread.

Thanks! It's sounds great even without the midpipe.

I got it from a vendor here on the forums. JM Auto Racing. My only complaint is they didn't get it shipped to me by the time they said they would. Luckily the shop I was getting it installed with was nice enough to move my installation date without taking my deposit. I see you are in NC, I am too for now (contract). The shop I used was National Speed in Wilmington, NC incase you may be wondering. They are top notch. A little pricy, but you get what you pay for. I am closer to Raleigh than to Wilmington and I still opted to go there instead. If you're near them I highly recommend them.

finally got this back. True chromed. not just polished. they are perfect and so easy to keep clean. they were pricey though but well worth it now that its done. can't wait to install. my goal is to have a great engine bay like Demik and a few other members.

My first change to my car was replacing some interior lights with 6K LED bulbs, vanity mirror lights, puddle lamps, footwell lamps, trunk light etc. These are my first mods to the engine compartment, APEXi Suction Kit in blue (filter and tube) and a blue oil cap to go with the USB paint....

do you find the carbon fiber brakes not to effective when cold? I have considered those or sticking with steel cross drilled.
