Looks good and sounds great!

ST Suspension Coilovers - only about 1.5in drop it could go quite a bit lower but its set up for function.

25mm B2Designs spacers - Spacers

I chased it down with a DJI Phantom 3 as my friend drove it away!

Awesome! Thanks for the pictures. I'll probably get spacers and eibach pro springs with the stock wheels for now. How loud is your exhaust? I'm thinking of getting just a muffler delete for now, should be relatively tame because of all the cats and resonators still intact.

'15 Muffler installed. Goodbye pointlessly undersized exhaust tips!

Also did a transmission/diff fluid swap to Motul 300.

Learned a lot of things today.
- Transmission fluid swaps are a pain in the ass on jack stands.
- Exhaust hangers are the devil
- Grease is your friend

- Most importantly, regardless of how frustrating working on your car can be... it's crazy fun and super satisfying when you're done.

Got rid of the 'meep meep' and went with some 'honk honk'.

How are you liking the transmission now with the Motul 300? Any notable differences?

It's considerably less notchy. Whereas with the stock fluid, 1st and 2nd would notch until sufficiently warm, now they snickt into gear by the time the engine is out of it's cold start cycle. There's also a bit less noise like the 6th gear whine at low RPM.

I changed the fluid primarily to get rid of the 4th to 5th synchro grind when the transmission is hot, and I didn't experience it today. Time will tell if it really did fix it, but hopes are high considering how much smoother the gear shifts feel now. Perhaps with MTEC springs it would be even better.

At the very least, I know I got a crap ton of metal shavings out of the transmission and diff judging by how coated the drain plugs were.
