I've got the same coilover setup and when it was set that low, I found it to bottom out during spirited driving (let alone speed humps etc).

I raised up about 20mm from lowest on the front and added 7-clicks of damper front, 3 rear. No problems with normal driving or most speed humps now

Looks fkn pimp that low though, well done!

How do you find the Invidia exhaust? not too much drone, meaty full throttle etc? Thinking its probably the one for me....

[Jesse]

its not too low yet, you just have to be careful, i know the roads around here pretty well, and i can still make it into my steep driveway.

the invidia is awesome, looks the best and sounds awesome at idle. no drone, just good deep sound, and it dosent scrape like my AP would on bad roads

[whitefrs]

how many threads do u have left on the coils in the front n back?

[MotivConcepts]

Your car looks great!

didnt change setting out of the box from BC at all, i will count next time i get my wheels off. still need an alignment haha.

[CharlieChaos]

I like the mudflaps they look good! I mean whole car looks good!

[Hippophobia]

I am now sold on both the vent visors and mud flaps. I was worried about how they might look not having seen good pictures of them but wow.

[Jesse]

Love those 2 things! Adds a unique style

[chaotichoax]

The vent visors/rain guards are a great functional mod but it's just stupid how expensive they are.

I do agree that the mudflaps are a good look.

love them, mine are almost full stiff so it rides much harder than stock.
