Those roof racks looks awful. Please don't tell me you only put them on when you're actually using them and don't ride around with them on ALL the time.

Edit: Had to take a second look to notice the lip spoiler and springs lol Those look good

Thanks for the comments!

H&R SS springs. The drop is about 1.5" all around. The ride is more rough than before but nothing comparing to the CR.

LOL - I am a family man and I resist getting a family hauler so the roof rack is there for a purpose.

Very nice! Thanks for posting pics - I've been wondering what 18's would look like with Supersport springs. I have the same springs but with 19's. Wish I could get that front lip too, but it wouldn't last where I drive.

You should get a light window tint stead of those side window curtain, I don't like or dislike the roof rack. I will install it when needed only, the drop and the lip looks very nice.
My $0.02

Not too bad. It is firmer than my previous stock W203 Sport but not bone jarring like the S2000CR

The roof bars are there only when I need to mount the carrier. It's very easy to take them off and put them on. I am waiting for the car to settle and to do the alignment in a week or so

The roof rack is kinda tall for my liking but it has a purpose, not meant to be pretty. Tint looks nice but I have problem seeing with the car being tinted. The window curtains are for my 3yr son and it's easy removed when not needed. I like the drop the most. It has that aggressive looks to it.

Thanks again for all the comments!

Actually, not the streets. It's the darn driveway entrance at my work and at the kids' school that are a problem.

I considered quitting work and sending the kids to a different school... the wife was not amused.

The lip looks just fine. I think that looks very clean. Obviously the roof rack is extremely ugly but once you look past that, it's a nice looking car.

The color is beautiful but the roof rack has got to go. Plus it will mess with your aero and thus your fuel economy. By the way; you live in a very pixelated neighborhood
