Peking-If you get a chance, could you comment on the visibility once you've had some more time behind the wheel. Also, how is the ride over rough/potholed pavement. Is there a lot of harshness in the cabin?

Thank you.

GodSays · 05-05-2012, 03:15 AM

if so what was the option number and how does it sound

Have you had a chance to hook up an I-pod to the AUX port and listen to the 300Watt pioneer stock unit and 8 speakers? I'm dying to know what it will sound like in that ****pit. =D

Congrats !! it looks gorgeous , and those springs make a huge difference in stance and look , hope it'll not compromis the chassis qualities too much

be sure to give us feedback when ever you had enough milles behind the wheel !

Enjoy !!

(damn its gonna be long till i recieve mine in August ... )

Sexy, I didn't notice that gap till u posted that before picture. Now it's all I'll see.

Fly Guy · 05-05-2012, 06:49 AM

Looks nice! What's the drop for the two different spring sets? The Eibach website still shows currently in development.

Staticfrost · 05-05-2012, 07:36 AM

At that hight it would be perfect with 18's what wheels you got in mind and what size?
