Please let me know if he was able to drop the car with the Star Scan tool. I have been told that it will reset after you cycle the ignition....

Please keep us updated...

If you decide to look into the Renntech ELM, let me know! We just installed one for a customer, it looked great!

Nice rims!

Clean, and not too flashy. Looks very similar to the 030 package.

forgive the noobish question, but by that do you mean that the stealership lowered your car by changing the stock settings? If so, then I would assume this is a pretty cheap way of lowering (as compared to spending a couple of grand with an aftermarket system) ??
