I am very much what would be considered a noob when it comes to suspension. What are these, coils? shocks, lol. And more importantly, how do they change the ride characteristics. Smoother? Harder? And how drastic is the difference?

they are coilovers. it lets you lower and adjust the ride height. it also lets you adjust the damping, which basically affects the soft/hardness.
it's technically stiffer than stock. it does a good job improving the handling. you definitely feel the road more, but in a smooth way.

That looks amazing. But to be honest, I am obsessed with your rims! What size are they, replica or OE Carlsson? Happen to know fi they make smaller size? I would like to get a bit more rubber on my tires so I don't have to replace them every 15k miles like you probably have to...

Would really like to lower my car, especially since I'm looking at rims. How hard is it to install something like this and (sorry this question has probably been answered before) will it void the factory warranty?

Looks amazing and those wheels are gorgeous!

those are originals. 19s. but im pretty sure they dont make smaller sizes unfortunately.
it's actually not bad. ive nver had to replace my tires since i got them. i think it depends on what tires you get and how you drive.
just cut down on the burnouts

its a piece of cake for a shop to do it, and its not too hard to diy if you have the right tools. and no it shoudnt void the warranty. try to do a search on the forum. very useful tool

Thumbs up

Perfect drop! I love it!
how's the ride? is it stiffer now?
I used to have Pss9 on a boxster, and they ride smooth,
eventhough the car was slammed.
