thoughts on color for amber delete? was leaning towards:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L9J2J6E/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A10111992WJRYRFBZH9IS&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L9J2J6E/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A10111992WJRYRFBZH9IS&psc=1

could go black too but that can look odd sometimes - and what im really hoping for is being able to just remove it and not wrap it..

I believe he was referring to the urban dictionary definition of "clean" meaning nice...

Changing out spacers - 20mm front 12mm rear - will adjust ride height a bit while in there and get it aligned.

Then amber delete.. and seeing if sourcing this lip is possible.

Process on deleting amber? I always wanted to do this on my FR-S but you had to bake the headlight, peal and re-seal.

that's basically it.. i use a heat gun to heat the glue surrounding and reuse the glue - i only need t open for about 15 minutes. i just reheat the glue to reassemble. Easiest screw up to do is overheating or getting glue on internal components - cleaning that off can remove the painted surfaces and overheating can cause cloudiness - usually not visible from outside.

Review of the KW HAS? I went with the MSS offering for our car, but these guys are taking almost 2 months to deliver. I might cancel the order go for KW HAS instead. How much drop have you set it at ( Dunno if you dropped it by measuring or whatever amount that looks nice) ?

Still pretty conservative - about 26 inches ground to fender up front and 26.5 out back - plenty more adjustment in either direction.

Going to be adjusting lower after new spacers etc. Ride quality is great - very OEM. Hard bumps crash a little more than stock but the 2019 is way more supple than the pre-facelift was. Body roll decreased heavily but still enough there to let you know what the car is doing

https://www.nemesisautosport.com/ - Martin M martin@nemesisautosport.com is up Canada and a good friend - lead time delivered to door is about 2 weeks

Nice! Hey, are you really using 35-series (might be a typo) tires for both front and rear? When are you having it aligned? Can you please post the results of the alignment when it’s done? I’m curious on how the HAS affects camber at that height. Thanks!

@alexasa I cancelled my order with MSS as they are facing a delay up to two months. What is the best way to reach Nemesis, and what kind of pricing can he pull up for me?

Yikes even his one is steep. If I order from vivid it is almost the same. I got an amazing quote from essexdistributor for the H&R VTFs. Almost 300 bucks less. What do you think?

got the kw on sale (was about $100 off with free shipping)

i personally didn't go with the H&R because of reports of people being max high and the car being very low in the rear. i can probably be stock height with the current set-up but also go as low as ~25 inches fender to ground (which is tucking tire).

my final height is 26 front and 26.4 rear inches fender to ground (with upsized tires which sits the car a bit higher)

I was not concerning about the lowering, it was the ride quality I was worried of. Multiple people I talked with said VTF and KW has the same ride quality. VTF being almost 300 bucks cheaper, I went with that option.
