Looks good. What'd you use? Springs or coilovers, maybe a cup kit? Or was there just a lot of stuff in the back?

Phil;
I already know I'm the most conservative of this group in terms of exterior mods. But, the argument against the rear tuck is rubbing if you have passengers in the car.

For the guys that do have the tuck, did you lose any suspension travel?

For the record Phil, your car is awesome. The rims make the look.

Took an upgraded car to finally do it, but bet you feel it's so worth it now!

WOW, lookin' sharp! As if it weren’t already enough of a babe magnet.... Kudos to you for having further improved upon one of the finest handling chassis available.

Next time I see you in the rear view mirror, I will politely yield and pretend that I've already reached my destination.

You take care the M really well huh . The C is for daily car?

BTW, nice drop! Can you still lower the car even more?

the PSS9's are pretty conservative, I'm pretty sure I can lower it, but probably by not much more.

Give it about 1 week. The car will settle a little.

hopefully it won't settle down by much, I don't want the rears any lower...

but I do need either a monkey or some ramps that I can drive up on so I can adjusting the dampening. I think I'd be fine with setting them a little stiffer.

I washed the car yesterday and decided to take some more pics with the top up this time... (the car was pretty dirty in the first set of pics I posted--the dealership "washed" it on Friday and they did such a ****ty, half-*** job that I just couldn't stand it and had to re-wash it.)
