Hood emblems, door lock pins, and H&R suspension settings
My car's in the shop right now waiting for it's revozport dtm bumper as well as a few other things and I'm trying to get some of the smaller things out of the way while it's still in there.
First off is the hood emblem... I've been able to find plenty of 50mm emblems on fleebay but I remember reading that our emblems are 57mm. Is this correct? If we do in fact have a bigger emblem then where should I look for some in that size?
For door pins, I wanted to find some brabus or amg all black metal door pins to replace the crappy plastic ones we have in our cars. I remember seeing a black brabus set somewhere on here a while ago, but I haven't been able to find the thread again. Also, on ebay all I've found are chrome pins, no black ones.
Finally there's the H&R suspension settings. I got the H&R coilovers and will have direzza star spec z1's put on for the summer in a 245/275 combo. If anyone has this setup I'd definitely appreciate some good settings that have worked well for you. My main goal is to have better cornering/handling all around and having the car as low as possible without having to worry about a small speedbump here and there.
Thanks

Nice, thanks for all the help with the door pins, I'll probably be getting some for the front. From what I understand the fronts are screw in and the back are attached with like adhesive, right?

The fronts screw on but I did not feel good (based on the increasing effort to screw them down) about trying to get them totally flush with the door panel when retracted so they are up just a little. Also, the rear pins may or may not stay seated when they are pressed on. I installed a second F&R set on a friend's car and on one side, the rear pin would unseat itself and eject on unlocking. I put a small drop of Welbond glue inside the pin and stirred it with a sewing needle to take out the air bubble, left it upside down for 20 minutes to set up and then popped the pin back on. It worked so well that I took the rear pins off my own car and did the same to them.
