7-8k maybe - but not 10K.

Adam,
Let's see em man - post those pics!!! I bet it will be a head turner with all that chrome. I got a bunch of thumbs up again on the road last night and almost caused an accident for one poor guy checking it out. (My Lexus GS300 actually did cause a 4 car pile up on the 405 back in 96'...lol...guess I shouldn't laugh - I've almost gotten in accidents checking out cars more than a couple of times)
BTW, the spacers made a world of difference.
I need to get her washed tomorrw and I'll post some pics of it all by Monday.
Talked to the shop that lowered it today - they have a really good set-up for lowering these cars - doesn't void the warrant, suspension still lowers at 80 and can be raised at the touch of the button by the shifter.
My only small issue is the rear camber - I know that when these cars come stock liek any Mercedes and any "sports car" there is a degree of camber, but my rears are a little more than I like it (again, I'm picky). I will post this question on a separate thread too. What has everyone's experience been who have lowered there's via brabus, carlsson, other methods, etc. been witht he rear camber?
