Congrats and welcome! You wont regret it! Dont forget to post pics within 1 hour of taking delivery, lol, J/K! If you wanna lower it, have Steve and MBenzNL do it. Its way more cost effective than the lowering modules that are currently available and it does the same thing. I had it done to mine and I have been happy ever since! All this car needs is a drop and tint! And rims eventually! Enjoy it, I look forward to pics!
