i had the bottom collar on my front coilovers removed today, when we took the coilover out, the washer nut(not sure what its called, see pic) was broken. I had to go to the dealer and pic these up $4 each.
my tech told me that these normally brake after a certain amount of miles and should be replaced.
here is a pic with the bottom perch removed:
pic of car, lowered all the way down, with 1 collar removed. It lowered about 1/2 an inch. Now my car is back to the rake look, before this, with coils all the way down it was sitting flat:

Geez Roland, your ride is sick to def! I just got the same exact model a few weeks ago (stock). It looks like yours when you first started this thread! I'll be stealing a couple of your mod ideas 
I've been scanning through the entire thread over the past couple of days. Nice job man. I don't think im going to drop mine as much due to the issues you have had on the L.A roads. But I def want to incorporate some black to contrast the white. Duel exhaust is a must as well.

Looks good, wish I could have made it. Had to work last minuet. I will defiantly be there next year though if you guys do it again. Your cars looking fresh as always
What kinda tires are you running to make this work? Or did ya have the fenders rolled/grinded a bit?

if you were closer Tru I'd do your fender lol... I have my roller and angle grinder in my trunk haha.
I'm liking the stock chrome grill for some reason, guess cause it flows with the headlights.
