        My "Racecar", excuse the damage... Took it through a fence going about 60 MPH. Within 12 hours I and multiple trips to the junkyard I have made considerable progress. ANYWAY

        Set up:
        215/50R15 Falken Azenis
        15x7.5 BBS Mahle Wheels
        Condor Speed Shop M3 offset CAB's
        Ground Control Coilovers 440Lb up front/600 rear
        Koni adjustables in the rear/ Blown OEM's up front.

        waiting for stuts from a member here so I can put in the Koni's up front. Its not low at all and I like it that way. Perhaps an inch more up front and I will call it good.:up:

          Actually doesn't ride that bad, a little bouncy on fast harsh bumps. I've definitely rode in worse
          It's my daily driver I'm happy with it




          I love your car!! Its awesome, good stuff!:p

            Classy as fuck. What color is that paint? Diamondschwartz? (sp)
            Or is it like really dark grey/gunmetal/super close to black but not quite there, because that's kinda what I'm going for.

                    The car drives OK here in NYC. I just have to extra careful and no way would it drive it to Manhattan.

                        FWIW, I think the roads in the outer boroughs are just as bad as they are in Manhattan -- anyone who has ever driven on the BQE should know this.

                          This is the full GC 5 lug swap kit which bolted right up. It can go as low as I want. I just don't want to lower it more because then I won't even be able to enjoy the car driving around NYC.

                            yes, it is Diamond schwarz metallic (DSM)

                            it is a dark grey/charcoal color with some metal flake in it. I loved it
