Default SC with Wald kit and Work Rezax II *Pics*

I finally got my wheels back from the chrome shop and the body kit painted and installed.

Excellent choice of wheels. First time I've seen it on an SC, and usually I see it on a GS. They really look super hot on your blue SC (man I love that color combo, blue/ivory!)

Does the Wald kit include a rear bumper? I can clearly see the sideskirts and front lip.

Thanks for the compliments!

The Wald kit includes the rear skirt. Not the entire bumper. The whole thing is pretty subtle. My wife hasn't even noticed a difference on the car other than the wheels.

I have been thinking about coilovers, but the car already scrapes in the front on VERY shallow driveways. I am not sure if I can pull off a drop since it's a daily driver...

Can anyone else with the kit and coilovers comment?

You car looks great!
It’s kind of a double edged sword either way you go. At stock height with the stock bumper you’re going to drag just about any parking curb if you pull in a bit too far. Can you tell I’ve already done that ??!!

Even if it wasn’t a daily driver, as you already know, you’re going to have to be more careful. So if you’re going to have to be more careful anyway, you might as well gain a ton in handling and a ton in driving fun and lower it. Mine’s a daily driver as well and though I don’t have the kit yet, I do have the coilovers. As talked about in other threads the coilovers transform the way the car handles dramatically. The ride height is also adjustable so you’d have some play there. It’s really a night and day handling difference so I’d have to encourage you to take a good look at them. Especially now that you have those wheels…

Very nice color combo, wheels and kit. As others have already mentioned, it needs the drop to "complete" the potrait! nice job

the wald fit has the rear. actually it's not bumper replacement, both front and back are lips only

but nonetheless, imho that's probably the best kit out there for the sc

well i know what you are saying. the sc is pretty low to begin with, and with the wald kit (LOW) it's no fun. however lowered ones are just so much nicer

you just need to learn how to get up driveway and over bumps. i have been driving lowered cars for yrs, and all you need is the angle and the speed. once you get a hang of it it's all good.
