I have never posted any pics of my car recently after the drop back in August and I was finally able to get to it.
Here's My Baby before and after the H&R springs with Bilstein Sports and DOT 1 Pads...sorry for the poor quality on the shots...My hands were shaking when I was trying to take the shot. Lolz

Thanks guys!
SFCLK...yes, 18 aero II's. I do get the vibration between 65-70mph. My dealer said that my left LCA bushing's worn out. That was the cause of the vibration/shake although I got used to it already..It's been doing that vibration for 3 years now. Lolz...

my ex called her jessica because the female voice on the command system reminder her of a friend of hers. lower? its already hitting the inner fender on every bump that i hit. lolz..what do you suggest, take off the spring pads?
In your first two photos (the night time ones) your car looks lower then the day time one, were you parked on a slope ? My car looked as high as yours in the daytime photo when I got her, but I lowered it with Eibachs, very happy now!.

Thanks! I like what you did with your grill

don't think rolling is necessary. if anything, lowering would more tire further from fenders at this point.Originally Posted by Hary Gahtoe

Thanks for the kind words on the grill. I wanted to slick up my front end a bit and was shoosing between going black or getting the big star look with 5 ribs. I decided obviously to paint the grill. I got the same paint as the car and rubbed down the grill first, primmed it a few coats and then painted it black, finishing it off with a few coats of lacquer.Originally Posted by rocko

yeah..according to my dealer..they already replaced my ball joints, steering damper and tie rods before under warranty and it still vibrated..lolz..had the wheels rebalanced, same thing. I just got used to it and im still thinking whether i should fix it or just save the money on a used E55 lolz..
